Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 306: The Auction (1)


After receiving confirmation from Zheng-Fu, the worry on Xiao-Jiang's face disappeared. The middle-aged man also noticed that Xiao-Jiang did not show any worried expression, but he still felt confident in his poison.

Aaaah!!!

The young man, who was a drug lab rat, continued to groan in agony as before. His skin was still green even after taking the antidote until nearly twenty breaths had passed. All the bidders were very interested in this matter. If this drug could actually neutralize Immortal-level poison, there was no need to mention how high its price would be.

But if it did not work, what followed would definitely cause much heavier damage.

If so, the trust in the items and the auction house would be lost immediately. And that would probably make no one think of staying at the auction because they did not know if the auction house actually had the elemental spirit stone or not.

Aaaah!!!

Augh!!!

At that time, the poisoned young man cried out even louder. Then a large pile of green blood gushed out of his mouth. After that, his green skin gradually faded, and his squirming gradually stopped.

"Look!? He has stopped struggling!"

"Yes… the green skin is gone too!"

"The antidote has worked, right?"

The voices of chattering and commenting immediately rang out as the change happened to the young man because everyone wanted to know what the outcome was and whether the antidote was effective or ineffective. But the one who was more excited than anyone would be none other than a middle-aged man who had bet that his poison was the best.

Boom!!!

Aaaaaah!!!

Suddenly, while everyone was excited, the young man who was lying still moved slightly before an explosion sounded within his body, along with the lying figure jumped up and shouted out with a happy face. That was because the sound of the explosion just now was the sound of his energy level exploding as it had advanced to another level.

"So great!!! Not only can the poison be cured, but it also allows me to advance to the next level!" The young man exclaimed with extreme excitement and joy because he had been stuck at the highest level of Golden Core for a long time. He was finally able to advance to the first level of the Nascent Soul stage.

Huh...?

"Does he level up as well?"

"Yes, that's right. I can also feel his energy level increasing!!"

"Then the antidote would be effective. It can also help people who eat it level up!"

Yay! Yay! Yay!

"It must be mine!"

"I will buy it... I will buy it!"

As soon as the results came out, everyone shouted that they were willing to pay for it because not only was it able to cure Immortal level poison, but this drug could also help increase their energy level.

As for the middle-aged man who was the elder of the Serpent Dragon Sect, he almost buried his head in the deepest ground now with extreme shame. Because before, he was extremely confident that his sect's poison was the best.

But then his confidence was shattered when an unknown antidote suddenly appeared and was able to neutralize the famous poison of his sect like this. Of course, this defeat made him feel very dissatisfied. But with his senses, he could feel the many highly skilled people hiding in the surrounding area. So, he did not dare to do anything rash besides biting his nails.

"Serpent Dragon Sect Elder Master, please don't forget what you said, sir. For compensation for the antidote that was consumed," Xiao-Jiang immediately repeated to the middle-aged man after the result came out and showed that Zheng-Fu's antidote was actually able to neutralize his Immortal level poison.

"I already know, Miss Xiao. Our Serpent Dragon Sect has never reversed words!" The middle-aged man was so furious that he almost burst out. Of course, the compensation for the antidote that was used was certainly not a small cost. But if his party was the one who bid on it, they would not have to pay for that part, but it would be in exchange for the purchase of an antidote.

"Alright, let's start bidding on this bottle of Immortal Green Poison Solvent. If anyone can bid, Serpent Dragon Sect will be a co-payer for one-tenth of that price. For example, if the auction price ends at one hundred coins, you will have to pay ninety coins, and the sect will pay another ten coins for a total of one hundred coins, sir."

Wow!!!

Yay!!! Yay!!! Yay!!!

The cheers of the bidders immediately rang out, hearing that, because the price of this bottle of potion would certainly be tremendous. But if someone helped pay one-tenth, they would save a lot of money in their pockets.

"If so, I'd like to hold an auction for the immortal Green Poison Solvent at fifty thousand monster crystal coins!"

55,000 monster crystal coins!

65,000 monster crystal coins!

85,000 monster crystal coins!

100,000 monster crystal coins!

It was only a few breaths after Xiao-Jiang opened the starting price that the price quickly doubled and continued to rise as well. Of course, the starting price of the potion at this level was considered very cheap. Everyone knew how important and valuable it was, so its price was certainly not less than a million coins.

500,000 monster crystal coins!

1,000,000 monster crystal coins!

1,700,000 monster crystal coins!

2,000,000 monster crystal coins!

"No matter what, I've got to buy that antidote!"

"Tsk! Our sect won't allow it. I brought a lot of money today!"

"How much do you bring? You can't fight my sect at all!"

Not only were the auction prices fierce, but the bidders themselves were equally fierce in their bids. However, there were still some sects that did not participate in the auction in this round. They thought that even though the Immortal-level antidote would be worth it, it did not mean that other items in the next round would be bad. So, they remained silent to wait and see.

Even if there was no other good item, however, their main goal was still the elemental spiritual stones.

5,000,000 monster crystal coins!

7,000,000 monster crystal coins!

10,000,000 monster crystal coins!

Huh...?

"Serpent Dragon Sect bid 10,000,000 monster crystal coins!" The middle-aged man from the Serpent Dragon Sect had sat silent for a long time, and finally, he made a bid with a smile on his face, as if he had a plan.

"Why does the Serpent Dragon Sect bid for the antidote?"

"I wonder if they buy it in order not to let anyone get the antidote to cure their sect's poison!?"

"Tsk! Keep on talking, you ants and bugs. Beware of yourself. If I get that antidote, then I'll study it and make a potion that is superior to that antidote. From now on, no antidote will be able to neutralize my poison," the middle-aged man said scornfully in a vengeful and furious tone, provoked by the fact that his proud poison pill could be neutralized.

Even he himself only had the poison-suspended pill and never had any antidote.

In the room of Zheng-Fu and his clan...

"This medicine is selling for a really good price, even though it is just the diluted type!" Elder Yan praised Zheng-Fu as he saw Zheng-Fu's drug price skyrocketing. He knew well that the potion in that bottle was only the dissolve-in-water type. Anyway, it was also very efficient.

"Not much at all, Elder. These potions are just things used to lure insects to trap them so that we can get a lot of money from everyone," Zheng-Fu replied with a sly smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Huh! You're really a planner. I really respect you." When Elder Yan heard Zheng-Fu's explanation, he felt admiration for this kid's ideas and plans even more. Even he himself still could not figure out how to do anything like this.

And his plan had always worked because human beings were greedy for everything they desired. When they found it, they would spend all their money to obtain it, no matter how much money they had to spend. Of course, there were also several bottles of Zheng-Fu's Potion. But he told Xiao-Jiang to bring to the auction one bottle per round to make it even more exciting.

15,000,000 monster crystal coins!

20,000,000 monster crystal coins!

30,000,000 monster crystal coins!

Damn it!!!

"35,000,000 monster crystal coins. Does anyone else dare to bid against me this time!?" The middle-aged man became even more furious, seeing the price kept increasing like this. This amount of money might not be a huge amount for a large sect, but their money was also limited. In the next round, if there were more good things, it would reduce his chances.

"Would anyone bid more, sir?" Xiao-Jiang announced immediately, seeing that no one thought to bid more. Then she went on to say, "So, I closed the auction for this round at 35,000,000 monster crystal coins. The Serpent Dragon Sect is the winner. And don't forget to pay for the items you bid on, sir." She said it with a happy smile on her face.

Tsk!!!

"Oh… The price of the first item is so high that I don't want to think about what the next item will be like?"

"That's right. Strangely, such a not-so-famous auction house has such a good thing. If I hadn't come by myself, I wouldn't have believed it."

"I think so. Coming this time is really worth it. Not only are there many famous martial art cultivators, but there are also many sects and major clans coming together!"

At the auction room of the City Lord...

"Master Lao-Ying-Ba, your city is expanding and developing very quickly. I don't know if this is all because of 'him' or not," the Third Prince, who had been watching the auction for a while, suddenly asked Lao-Ying-Ba while looking at Zheng-Fu, who was sitting in the next room.

Huh...?

Lao-Ying-Ba, hearing the Third Prince's question, immediately furrowed his brows, feeling a little worried and embarrassed about the things that he should have answered because the other person was the prince of this country, who had a lot of power and military forces. But with this matter, Zheng-Fu had said not to tell anyone, so he felt worried about speaking out.

"Ha ha ha. If you're having a hard time saying it, it's fine. I don't want to force you. After all, I'm already able to guess the answer." The Third Prince saw Lao-Ying-Ba's troubled expression, so he said that with a smile. And the Third Prince's words made Lao-Ying-Ba feel a little better.

"My apologies, Your Highness, for not being able to tell much. But in all matters, he has a lot to do with it, sir. Other than that, I can't tell you anything else." Lao-Ying-Ba decided to say only one thing, and that was that this rapid urban development happened because of Zheng-Fu's management behind it. Other than that, he could not tell.

The Third Prince nodded in understanding and did not ask further, just smiled. He turned to look at Zheng-Fu and internally thought of something about all the things that had happened, including matters that might occur in the future as well.
