Chapter 209 Auction

These good news came one after another, making Lu Rong almost tremble with excitement!

  He regretted it now. If he had known that this auction would have such a big commotion, why did he send the first two pills to the black market? Wouldn't it be better to send them separately to different auctions!

  Of course, that was just what he thought. The reason why he was in a hurry to sell it on the black market was that Lu Rong was anxious to see the cash and was afraid that the things would be in vain or he would lose money.

  "Did that person from Xianlai Sect tell us where their breakthrough pills came from?"

  Lu Rong couldn't help but ask Qiao Laohei.

  He was so jealous. How could a poor family like Xianlai Sect get a treasure like Breakthrough Pill? How could they do that?

  He could make a fortune with just these three pills. How much more could they, the only owner of the pills, make?

  It would be great if such a business fell into his hands.

  Lu Rong was thinking about visiting the sect at night, but it was just a thought, of course, because he had been following the movements of the Xianlai Sect and knew that many people had tried to target them some time ago, but none of them returned.

  This seems to indicate that the strength of the Xianlai Sect has also improved...

  Of course, if I had money and resources, I would become stronger!

  But the more they did this, the more flustered Lu Rong became.

  If I knew the origin of the Breakthrough Pill, would everything in the Xianlai Sect belong to me now?

  "What are you thinking about? Will the guys who are eating here tell me? Do you think I'm their father?" Qiao Laohei mocked him unceremoniously, "Don't have any crooked ideas. Just make our money peacefully. If you cause trouble, I won't cover for you."

  Lu Rong blushed, "I'm just asking..."

  But he was a little annoyed in his heart. This Old Black Qiao was not polite to him at all. If there was a chance in the future, he would kick him out no matter what and do this business himself.

  On the day of the auction, Lu Rong and Qiao Laohei also went to Jinyang City to see the excitement.

  Moreover, as the owners of the auction items, they can be present on the day so that they can divide the money as soon as the auction is over.

  "So many people! Lao Hei, we are really going to get rich."

  The two of them sat in the auction hall. Although it was not as fancy as the private rooms, it had a good atmosphere.

  Seeing that the seats were full all around and there were still many people outside the door who hadn't received the invitation and couldn't enter, Lu Rong couldn't stop smiling, and wanted to tell everyone: Today's breakthrough pill is mine!

  However, Lu Rong, who was always very happy, didn't notice that Qiao Laohei next to him looked at him with a slightly pitying look.

  "Yes, with so many people, there's no problem finding a good buyer."

  Qiao Laohei retracted his gaze and handed the tea beside him to Lu Rong, "Drink some tea, it smells pretty good."

  When taking the tea, he held the teacup with three fingers of his palm facing downward, and the remaining two fingers seemed to move slightly, but the movement was so subtle that no one noticed.

  "Okay, thank you." Lu Rong took a look and saw that their area was filled with tea, which looked more upscale than the seats in front.

  So he took it and took a sip. "It tastes pretty good. The auction house is really generous."

  "With so many people coming, the auction will make a lot of money. It's just providing some tea." Seeing him drink it, Qiao Laohei also touched the cup meaningfully, but did not drink it.

  Lu Rong didn't pay attention to these details at all. He looked up at the box above and said curiously, "I think those big shots are sitting up there. I wonder if the Liu Master is here."

  "Even if it's there, we can't recognize it." said Qiao Laohei.

  "That's true, but who cares? As long as you're willing to pay the extra money, it'll be fine."

  Lu Rong said happily and took another sip of tea.

  The tea is provided free of charge at the auction, but the wool comes from the sheep.

  For example, their Breakthrough Pill today, no matter how much the crystal stone price is, they will get 10% in the end.

  If you pay 10% commission yourself, it will cost at least 10,000 or 20,000 crystals!

  This is not free tea, it is clearly expensive tea!

  He had to drink more, so Lu Cha held the cup tightly and finished it after a few sips. Then he asked the waiter to refill his cup.

  People around couldn't help but look sideways -  

  You must be so thirsty! The auction hasn't even started yet and you've finished this cup of tea?

  Qiao Laohei next to him was also a little stunned. He was thinking that if Lu Rong didn't drink, he would persuade him a few more times and try to get him to drink more.

  Now, they have finished drinking it.

  Qiao Laohei looked at him with pity again, and then said, "Let's start."

  After Lu Rong and the other person came in, they received the auction brochure. After reading it, they realized that there were two finale items in this auction. The Breakthrough Pill was the second to last item, and the last item was a heavenly-level martial arts technique.

  In other words, the reason why there was such a big fuss this time was not entirely because of the Breakthrough Pill. Many people heard the news in advance and came for that technique.

  This made Lu Rong a little disappointed.

  But it didn't matter. After all, people were here. Maybe they would be attracted by the Breakthrough Pill and bid up the price.

  The waiting time was quite long. If it weren't for the Breakthrough Pill, Lu Rong might have been attracted by the items in front and might have bought one.

  But he was so busy that he had no time to pay attention to other items and just kept waiting anxiously.

  "...The next lot is our first and finale item today: the Breakthrough Pill."

  "I think many people have heard of its name. The Breakthrough Pill is sold by Xianlaifang. It has the effect of breaking through barriers and resolving inner demons. So far, only 20 pills have been sold. According to the news that has been received, at least 14 people have successfully used it to break through, and there has been no failure."

  Here it comes, it's finally here.

  Lu Rong sat up straight and looked intently at the female cultivator on the stage who was introducing the Breakthrough Pill.

  "... Starting price: 50,000. Bidding begins now!"

  Following the order, the bidding continued.

  "Sixty thousand!"

  "Sixty-five thousand."

  "Seventy thousand!"

  "One hundred thousand!"

  When it reaches 100,000, it is the normal market price sold in Xianlaifang, which means that every subsequent price increase will be higher and higher than the market price.

  Lu Rong's heart was beating very fast and his face turned red.

  "One hundred and ten thousand."

  "One hundred and twenty thousand!"

  "One hundred and twenty-five thousand!"

  "I'll give you 150,000!"

  "One hundred and seventy thousand!"

  …

  Some sounds came from the box, and some came from the seats below.

  Next to Lu Rong sat a brother and sister. The sister couldn't help but smack her lips when she heard the noise. "You're crazy! A 100,000 yuan item was sold at such a high price. What a rip-off."

  "Although the price is higher than the market price, the supply is insufficient to meet the demand. Xianlaifang sells too few items and most people cannot get them. Only those who buy them can own them," said the brother.
