Chapter 49: Intense petition

  "Who is this guy?"

  "Such high-profile bidding, could it be the Nan family or perhaps the Mu family?"

  As Miteer Tushan finalized the result, everyone looked towards the private room where Gu He was located, showing expressions of shock.

  In their eyes, other thaop families in the imperial capital, no other family dared to act so high-profile.

  Nan Jie and Mu also turheir gazes tu He's private room, speg which family the bidder might be from. They refrained from bidding themselves, wanting to serve their strength for the petitiohe pinnacle Dou Spirit Pills ter.

  The climax stirred up by the Fifth-ical Beast Egg gradually subsided after a while.

  Shortly thereafter, Gu He, who had been idle in his chair, was suddenly attracted by a medial herb presented on the small silver pte by Miteer Tushan on the crystal stage.

  This herb was entirely fiery red, as if bathed in fresh blohly the size of a palm. At a g resembled Lingzhi, and as soon as it appeared, a faint fragrance spread, refreshing the spirits of those he crystal stage.

  "Indeed, it's the Fire Lingzhi. This au is not in vain."

  Watg the fiery red Lingzhi in Miteer Tushan's hand oage, Gu He couldn't help but smile.

  This Fire Lingzhi was only a Fifth-Grade spiritual herb, and theoretically, it had no use fu He. However, this Fire Lingzhi was the main ingredient for a Fifth-Rank pill.

  The Purple Spirit Pill!

  Yes, this Fire Lingzhi was used to refihe main medie for the Purple Spirit Pill.

  The fun of the Purple Spirit Pill was to pletely restore strength that had deteriorated due to seals or internal injuries.

  Gu He reparing this Purple Spirit Pill specifically for Ice Emperor Haibo Dong.

  Currently, Ice Emperor Haibo Dong's strength had regressed to the Dou Spirit realm due to the snake seal of Queen Medusa. He was hiding in the desert city withiagre Desert.

  Thinking of Haibo Dong, Gu He couldn't help but reveal a smile.

  Speaking of it, he and Haibo Dong were sidered old acquaintances.

  Back then, after winning the first p the Alchemist Grand petition, the Miteer family, represented by Haibo Dong, tried to recruit him.

  Although he rejected Haibo Dong's invitation and joined Yu afterward, their retionship was still quite good.

  In a while, he po visit this old friend iagre Desert.

  As for the Purple Spirit Pill he reparing, it was inteo make Haibo Dong owe him a favor.

  ...

  "Fire Lingzhi only survives at the bottom of voloes, abs voliergy and the Earth's core fire to grow. For ordinary people to collect it is extremely difficult. Even some Dou Ling experts or even Dou Wang experts wouldn't dare to easily veo such pces as voloes." On the crystal stage, Miteer Tushan was expining to the people below.

  Later, Miteer Tushan also detailed the uses and in of Fire Lingzhi. Under his expnation, the response from the crowd was quite good; it seemed many were ied in this Fire Lingzhi.

  "Hehe, acc to the assessment, the starting price for this Fire Lingzhi is set at seven huhousand. Let's begin, everyone." Afterwards, Miteer Tushan annouhe prid smiled at the audience.

  After this high price was announced, some of the people who were inally ied suddenly became dejected.

  Although they could afford seven huhousand, in the midst of this intense petition, it was quite normal for the darn thing to double in price. Their funds were not abundant, so bidding in such a petitive enviro had to be dohin their means.

  "Seven hundred and twenty thousand!"

  Of course, apart from those who wao withdraw from the bidding, there were still quite a few people determio pete for this item.

  "Seven hundred and forty thousand!"

  ...

  Gu He sat quietly in his chair, listening to the tinuously rising prices, but he did not rush to pete.

  As time slowly passed, the number of bidders gradually decreased due to the rising prices. In the end, only two people were left peting, and by this time, the price had already reached around one million ay thousand.

  "One million two huhousand!"

  Just as the prices in the arena tio rise, a zy voice finally sounded. tless gazes followed the sound aually settled on Gu He's private room.

  The sudden surge in the bidding also surprised everyone in the arena, and when Miteer Tushan saw that the bidder was once again Gu He, a hint of surprise fshed in his eyes.

  In his view, there shouldn't be anything that Gu He was ied in at this au. However, the fact that the Pill King was so active and had secutively made generous bids puzzled him.

  With a price of one million two huhousand, Gu He pressed down the remaining two bidders, and feeling the surrounding gazes, he paid no attention.

  Upon realizing the bidder was Gu He, Miteer Tushan, after asking three times below, smmed the au hammer down.

  "This guy got it again?"

  "Where is he from? How his funds be so abundant?"

  "Could he be from one of the three major families?"

  Nan Jie and Mu wore expressions of disbelief. Gu He had bid twi a row, and both times were quite extraordinary. This made the two of them start to doubt his identity.

  "Could he be from the royal family?"

  Suddenly, a thought crossed their minds.

  However, this idea was quickly dismissed. If someone from the royal family had participated in the au, their target would undoubtedly be the final Dou Spirit Pill.

  How could they spend such a rge sum of money owo items?

  Thinking about it, the two of them were puzzled.

  Whehought about the uping au of the Dou Spirit Pill, a sudden realization dawned on them. Where did Miteer Au House get the Dou Spirit Pill? Moreover, there was no prior notification.

  Normally, Miteer Au House would publicize su item to allow partits to prepare adequately. Even the level of this au could have beeed to the heavenly level.

  However, Miteer Au House hadn't done any of this. Uhey suddenly acquired the Dou Spirit Pill and hadn't had time to send out notifications. Moreover, this Dou Spirit Pill, a Sixth-Rank pill, could only be refined by one person iire Gamma Empire.

  In an instant, Nan Jie and Mu had their answers. It seemed that Pill King Gu He had also participated in this au and provided the Sixth-Rank pill, Dou Spirit Pill.

  However, Pill King Gu He didn't seem to hese items. Thinking about the Fifth-ical Beast Egg and Fire Lingzhi that he had just bought, the two of them fell into fusion.

  ...

  "Everyohe item to be aued is the st item of this au, and also the final climax."

  "I believe the uping item will definitely not disappoint you."

  At this moment, Miteer Tushaed voice came from the crystal au stage.

  Hearing the voice, Gu He couldn't help but look up at the crystal stage. When he saw Miteer Tushan's flushed face, he was momentarily stuhen whispered, "It seems that the Dou Spirit Pill is about to appear."

  "It seems that the au's trump card is about to be revealed."

  Seeing Miteer Tushan's ging expression, many people in the audience also noticed something. The whispered versations ceased, and tless gazes were fixed on the crystal stage, eagerly awaiting the grand finale of this au.

  "Finally, it's ing out."

  Hearing Miteer Tushan's words, a hint of rosy color appeared on the elderly faan Jie in the private room was also shining with a glint of anticipation in his eyes, muttering, "The Dou Spirit Pill is about to make its appearance."

  Oher side, Mu , the head of the Mu family, at this moment, also restrained some of the smiles on his face. His seemingly indifferent gaze became as sharp as an eagle.

  "Cp, cp."

  On the crystal stage, Miteer Tushan cpped his hands with a solemn expression.

  As the appuse echoed, a series of clig sounds suddenly emanated from the edge of the crystal stage. Soon, a bck metal fence slowly rose, f a circur enclosure around the stage. Even the space above the crystal stage was covered by extendial bars.

  "Hehe, please don't be too ed, this is just a measure we take to ehe safety of the au items." Seeing the fence structed like a prison, Miteer Tushan on the crystal stage smiled at the crowd, expining.

  "This prison is made of Cold Iron. Even a Dou King powerhouse would find it difficult to break out in a short period."

  While speaking, the aueer deliberately sed the private rooms from various positions, and the implication was evident.

  For the high-ranking representatives of those families, they just faintly smiled at this special instru. They didn't pay too much attention. In previous aus, is of bidding wars and attempts to seize au items were not unheard of.

  Therefore, Jia Ma Au House being cautious was normal. Otherwise, if things were forcibly taken away on their own turf, where would Jia Ma Au House stand in the Jia Ma Empire?

  Fu He, this overly cautious move by Jia Ma Au House made him pause for a moment, but he quickly recovered. The temptation of the Dou Spirit Pill for Dou King powerhouses was too great. Some people might take risks, and he even sensed a few hidden auras on the sed floor of Jia Ma Au House. One of them was extremely powerful, likely ing from Jia Ma Tenshan, the head of the Jia Ma family.

  "It seems that even Jia Ma Tenshan is not at ease with this Dou Spirit Pill," Gu He thought, a smile pying on his face.

  Gu He tio gaze at the crystal stage. At this moment, the aueer carefully took out a half-foot-sized purple-gold pte from the ter below. Ie, a palm-sized icy jade box ced. The box ale in color, and even from a distance, people could clearly see the faint white cold air emanating from the icy jade, showing the extraordinary preservation effect of the top-quality icy jade.

  With the appearance of the icy jade box, the entire au house, especially the representatives of the major families, straightened up. Their eyes, filled with undisguised greed, were fixed on the icy jade box.

  Ign the greedy gnces outside the iron fence, Jia Ma Tushahe purple-gold pte gently on the au stage. His withered fingers carefully lifted the lid of the box. Suddenly, a burst of yellow light shot out.

  Apanying the golden light, there were even energy fluctuations in the void.

  The sudden burst of light illumihe entire au house. Some unprepared people instinctively closed their eyes.

  Afterwards, when they adapted, their gazes were firmly locked on the icy jade box on the crystal stage.

  In it, a golden pill the size of a longan was quietly lying there. The surface of the pill was extremely round.

  The pill emitted a strong energy vibration, a phenomenon only possessed by Sixth-Rank and higher-grade pills!

  The entire au house fell into a deathly silender the seemingly elusive golden light.

  Although many people in the audience didn't know the exact details of this pill, judging from the previous burst of golden light, they could vaguely ses extraordinariness. sequently, their faces couldn't help but reveal a greedy look.

  In trast to those who didn't know the exact details of this pill, the high-level figures in the private rooms were suddeed. Some powerhouses even overflowed with untrolble qi due to the emotional fluctuations.

  On the crystal stage, Jia Ma Tushan, looking at the atmosphere created by the Dou Spirit Pill, smiled with satisfa. He then turned his gaze to the forces sitting in the private rooms. He was clear that these people were the powerful tenders for the Dou Spirit Pill.

  "Don't waste time, make your bids." Hearing Jia Ma Tushan's verbose words, impatient voices came from the private rooms.

  Nan Jie and Mu stared at the Dou Spirit Pill in Jia Ma Tushan's hand, their eyes filled with intense desire.

  "Hehe." Nodding with a smile, the aueer cleared his throat, then said seriously, "The value of this Dou Spirit Pill, I believe you all uand. I won't set a starting priow. Feel free to bid, and the highest bidder will win."

  As the Dou Spirit Pill made its appearahe atmosphere in the au house ehe most explosive climax. The high-level figures in the private rooms finally started the jaw-dropping and red-faced bidding. Even though there was no initial starting price for the Dou Spirit Pill, the price soared to two million in an instant after Jia Ma Tushan's au hammer fell.

  Moreover, this price kept skyrocketing.

  "Two million one huhousand gold s!"

  "Two million three huhousand gold s!"

  "Two million five huhousand gold s!"

  ...

  "Three million gold s!"

  After a few breaths, the price of the Dou Spirit Pill had already risen to three million gold s.

  This se left most people in the audience dumbfounded, uo believe it. The horrifying speed of the pricrease was almost unpreted in their many years of existence.

  To throw away thousands of gold s so recklessly, such boldness aermination were vividly dispyed in front of the temptation of the Sixth-Rank Dou Spirit Pill.

  The esg prices maintaihe atmosphere of the au house in aed uproar, never dropping for a moment. Even those who khey no longer had the qualifications to bid for the item were captivated by this thrilling petition. Witnessing such a breathtaking financial petition made them feel that this trip was worthwhile.

  As the rapidly rising prices tinued for nearly half an hour in this blood-soaked petition, it gradually es final stages. By now, the price of the Dou Spirit Pill had reached the astonishing amount of five million.

  Five million, a sum equivalent to the total annual ine of the Mitel family in the Jia Ma Empire.

  This enormous amount robably something that only a few forces iire Jia Ma Empire could casually take out without g.

  As the price reached this point, weaker forces finally began to give up. After nearly half an hour of intense bidding, the price of the Dou Spirit Pill finally reached the astounding amount of six million.

  Six million, an astronomical figure equivalent to the total annual ine of the Mitel family in the Jia Ma Empire.

  This kind of colossal sum was likely something that only a few forces iire Jia Ma Empire could afford to spend nontly.

  At this stage, some weaker forces finally started to give up. As the relentless bidding tien mier, Nan Jie's eyes fshed with a hint of fieress. Finally, with a twitg expression, he shouted the astronomical price of six million, stunning the entire au house into silence.

  A Sixth-Rank pill for six million!

  The silent au house gradually recovered after nearly a few minutes. Gazing at each other, their eyes were filled with shod excitement from the terrifying astronomical price.

  Six million, such a huge amount, how long would it take for a family to accumute?

  Naually bid this high, clearly catg the other families, including Wood , off guard. After looking at each other helplessly, they all withdrew their bids with unpleasant expressions.

  "Why aren't you hammering!" Seeing no one else bidding, Nan Jie couldn't help urging as he looked at Miteer Tushan on the crystal stage, who seemed stunned.

  Miteer Tushaed only then. After a symboliquiry to the audience below, he directly hammered the au to a close.
