Chapter 116 - Chapter 116: Chapter 116: A Pill of Elixir Medicine, A (2/2)
Afterward, he respectfully performed a bow to Wu Cai Immortal:
“Yes, Ancestor…”
Having said that, Liu Yiyuan then stepped back.
After Liu Yiyuan stepped down, the Wu Cai Immortal glanced at the private room where Elder Bai was located before continuing to close his eyes and cultivate.
Meanwhile, the auction below was still ongoing.
The Zhang Family had already called out a high bid of 4500 Midium Grade Spirit Stones.
“5000 Midium Grade Spirit Stones.”
The person who had been competing with the Zhang Family called out the price from the corner, then shouted towards the Zhang Family’s private room:
“Real Person Chenfan, this is the highest price I can offer. If you can bid higher, then take the Pure Accumulation Pill with no regrets.”
“5500 Midium Grade Spirit Stones.”
Zhang Yuan’s voice transmitted, still unchanging; he had been like this from the beginning, calm and unhurried.
After Zhang Yuan’s voice fell, the entire auction hall fell into silence, with no one else speaking up.
And the one who had been bidding against the Zhang Family did as he said, falling silent, with no further moves being made.
The same was true for another person, who no longer made a sound.
At this point, it was naturally Steward Cheng’s turn.
“Ahem… Ahem…”
Steward Cheng cleared his throat.
“5500 Midium Grade Spirit Stones, for the first time…”
“5500 Midium Grade Spirit Stones, for the second time…”
“5500 Midium Grade Spirit Stones, for the third time, sold.”
“Congratulations to the Zhang Family for obtaining this Pure Accumulation
Pill.”
The price of 5500 Midium Grade Spirit Stones was a hundredfold higher than usual.
But…
Fortunately, Lin Jing had been well-prepared mentally; although he was excited inwardly, his expression remained perfectly calm.
After Steward Cheng’s words ended,
a maid immediately came over, collected the Pure Accumulation Pill, and was about to step down from the auction stage. “No need to trouble yourself, just bring it up here.”
The aged voice rang out again.
Following this, the maid turned to look at Steward Cheng, who nodded.
Holding the Pure Jade Box, the maid walked down from the auction stage and headed upstairs.
“Alright, let’s invite the next auction item,” Steward Cheng announced.
Subsequently, another maid came up holding a Jade Slip.
“This is a Cultivation Technique…”
Steward Cheng was still introducing the item, but Lin Jing wasn’t listening; his attention was fixed on the Zhang Family’s private room.
The atmosphere at the scene once again became lively.
It was only after a while that the maid came down from the second floor.
Atter the maid came down, Lin Jing waited tor another quarter ot an hour, and in the midst of the intense bidding amongst the crowd…
Lin Jing left the venue quietly through the entrance the maid had mentioned earlier.
Upon entering it, he discovered it was actually a passageway, and he followed along.
Soon, the path opened up into a hall which wasn’t very large.
Two Yuebaolou stewards were seated at the back, with several maids standing on both sides.
Furthermore, Lin Jing noticed that Elder Yu was also here.
Seeing Lin Jing arrive, the people present stood up.
“Stewards, I’ve come to collect the item I won at the auction,”
“And also, I wish to take away the Spirit Stones I earned from selling the Elixir Medicine.” Lin Jing spoke first.
After speaking, he took out the proof of transaction from the auction and handed it to Elder Yu.
Elder Yu took the proof, examined it carefully, and then passed it to one of the stewards behind him.
After the steward had checked it as well, he said:
“Please wait a moment, Daoist friend.”
As his words ended, the steward turned and left, heading towards the back of the hall..
