526 The Terrifying Ratio (1/2)
Meanwhile, Ma Jiang Ming and Huyan Xiao also expressed the same views, and acknowledged the efficacy of the Bone Tempering Pill.
Everyone present in the hall brightened up within a moment. Then, everyone started whispering. It wouldn't have matter if one or two people had started to whisper. But, the whispering of thousands of people… had started to resemble the sound that is made by thousands of snakes as they crawl across thick underbrush on a heavy rainy day… In fact, the Snake King even stretched her neck to look down at the hall — [Its unlikely that my beast race is holding a meeting downstairs; right?]
The entire hall had spiralled into chaos for a moment.
After all, the people from the Three Holy Lands had verified the pill's efficacy!
The importance of this pill had increased many folds in the eyes of everyone present. And, their attitude had changed from ”I want this” to ”I'll pay any price to have this” in a split second.
”Silence! Everyone, please calm down!” Jun Mo Xie had learned a judge's mannerism on the TV. 'Tap''Tap' he slammed the gavel twice with a serious expression on his face. However, his mind was very calm.
Meanwhile, Mei Xue Yan and Green Hunter focused their attention on the people from the Three Holy Lands. Whereas, Guan Qing Han and Dugu Xiao Yi prepared blank papers, pen, and ink; they seemed ready to take notes.
Jun Mo Xie had initially conducted this auction in order to make huge amount of gold for himself. He had planned on using this financial power to acquire the resources he'd require for his troops. He had also intended to manufacture divine weapons for them by using this money. He had harboured a second objective as well. And, that was that he wanted to prepare for the future. After all, Jun Mo Xie wanted to build himself a palace in the Tian Fa Forest. And, that would act as his base of operations in the future. However, these things could only be regarded as a fantasy unless he had a massive amount of gold at his disposal.
However, he had started to harbour more objectives than the two mentioned above. This auction of the Bone Tempering Pill was 'related to the future outlook of every influential family'. So, it would clearly show which families harboured grudges against each other, and which family were good friends. It would also reveal which families could be exploited, and which family ought to be forsaken to the point of breaking all contacts!
After all, this was undoubtedly very valuable intelligence!
Moreover, there was another very important purpose – Mei Xue Yan's objective.
The Beautiful Mei wanted to know the current status of the relationship between the Three Holy Lands. These three factions hadn't showed-up before people at the same time in a long while. Therefore, no one knew how the relationship between the three factions was at present. What were their secret whereabouts? What aspects had changed? Could things go back to the way they used to be? They were fighting amongst themselves. But, could they reunite in the crucial moments when they were faced with foreign invaders? Could they still work as one?
After all, this intelligence pertained to the future of the entire continent!
These planning of these aspects couldn't be ignored!
Therefore, Jun Mo Xie was genuinely looking forward to this auction. The Bone Tempering Pills were top-grade miracle medicines in these people's eyes. So, they wouldn't hesitate to spend tens of thousands of gold coins in order to get hold of this amazing thing. It must be said that Jun Mo Xie didn't considered these Bone Tempering Pills as staple goods. However, he didn't consider them to a rarity either. In fact, Young Master Jun wouldn't have refined so many of these pills if they weren't capable of amassing massive amounts of wealth in an auction…
The hall was hosting nearly half of the continent's elite figures at this moment. These people had travelled for thousands of miles to arrive here. They had nearly exhausted the entirety of their family's properties to raise money in order to buy this product… These people wouldn't hesitate to fight do-or-die battles over this item; they would even vie over it till they had gone bankrupt… However, they could've never expected that this item wasn't worth much in the eyes of another…
This was probably the great irony of the situation!
And, Jun Mo Xie deliberately didn't announce any specific rules for the auction because of the reasons mentioned above. In fact, he didn't even frame rules such as… no malicious competition, no deliberate hiking of prices… or no usage of private means to threaten someone etc…
”The efficacy of this magical pill has already been proven. Therefore, the auction begins!” Jun Mo Xie slammed the gavel on the table. And, the entire hall fell in silence as soon as the gavel was slammed.
”The auction house will put up a total of fifty bottles of Bone Tempering Pills. Every bottle has twenty pills in it. In other words, any family will be able to cultivate twenty of its members to have boundless future prospects as long as they are able to purchase this pill in this auction. The family would be ensured that the Xuan cultivation of these pills' consumers will progress faster than their counterparts. They will go farther than their peers, and their achievements will obviously be greater as well! Let's take an analogy to explain this… Let's assume that a certain genius is born in a family. And, this said-genius possessed the ability to reach the Spirit Xuan level in sixty years from the day of his birth. Then, this individual would be able to achieve the same result in forty years if he were to take a Bone Tempering Pill in his childhood itself! And, this compression of time could even become shorter in some cases! This means that there will be a minimum gap of twenty years when compared with someone who hasn't taken the pill! And, I'm sure that everybody must realize what this gap represents.”
Jun Mo Xie's bewitching words struck the floor of the hall in a manner that the already-stifling atmosphere became even more serious. Everyone's face turned heavy as a result. And, it was obvious that they had started thinking about the true meaning behind Jun Mo Xie's words.
[What does this gap of two decades mean? It means that we would still be struggling with the Jade Xuan level, while our peers would be busy breaking into the Sky Xuan realm!] Almost everyone was left to shudder at this thought!
[Aren't you saying that a family which has these Bone Tempering Pills would find it super-easy in the near future to eliminate a family which doesn't?!]
[Training twenty great experts in a single stroke, ah!]
Everyone's eyes had reddened; only the Three Holy Lands' people were an exception.
