Chapter 249: Chapter 10: Body Tempering Liquid Auction

The figures from the Ancient Forces also turned their attention to the auction stage.

They were very interested in the Body Tempering Liquid!

Such Body Tempering Liquid was not circulated outside at all, and perhaps only a few of the Ancient Families might have it.

However, in fact, they were unaware that even the Body Tempering Liquid refined by the most ancient of those forces could not match the effectiveness of Lin Feng’s Body Tempering Liquid.

The reason was simple!

Because Lin Feng’s Body Tempering Liquid was refined from an Ancient Medicine Recipe created by the Ancient Medicine God, who was the first alchemist of the Ancient Era.

A maid walked up, holding a porcelain bottle on a tray.

Zhuge Zheng said, “This is the Body Tempering Liquid, and our auction house has already inspected it. This Body Tempering Liquid is completely free of impurities, and the production process is extremely complex, reaching a level of transparency. It is definitely a Body Tempering Liquid refined from an Ancient Medicine Recipe. The starting price for this bottle of Body Tempering Liquid is one hundred thousand Gold Coins.”

Lin Feng clicked his tongue in surprise. The cost of this bottle of Body Tempering Liquid was twenty taels of silver, and the auction house had set the price at one hundred thousand Gold Coins—and that was just the starting bid.

One should know that one hundred thousand Gold Coins were equivalent to a hundred million taels of silver.

One had to admit, this auction house really knew how to do business.

“Two hundred thousand Gold Coins.”

“Three hundred thousand Gold Coins!”

…

“One million Gold Coins.”

…

“Two million Gold Coins!”

…

And the competition among the Great Forces that followed was even more intense.

Whether a force could endure and become stronger depended on whether it could foster remarkable descendants who could shoulder the destiny of the entire force.

And now, the Body Tempering Liquid being auctioned was foundational; it could turn an ordinary descendant into a genius, and a genius into a prodigy. Naturally, everyone would compete with all their might.

“Three million.”

…

“Four million.”

…

“Ten million!”

…

Lin Feng was dumbfounded as he listened to the bidding; it was crazy that the Body Tempering Liquid, which cost twenty taels of silver to produce, was being bid up to ten million Gold Coins by the Great Forces.

“Ten million going once?”

“Ten million going twice!”

“Ten million going three times!”

“Congratulations to this friend, for winning the first bottle of Body Tempering Liquid!” Zhuge Zheng said with a smile.

“It’s someone from the royal family.”

Someone remarked, recognizing the bidder as a royal, probably representing the True Martial Country royalty.

The elderly man also beamed a smile at Zhuge Zheng and gave him a cupped fist salute.

Seeing the disappointed expressions on many faces, Zhuge Zheng said with a smile, “If you didn’t win the first bottle, don’t be downhearted because this time, our auction house will auction off ten bottles of Ancient Body Tempering Liquid at once!”

Lin Feng was astonished; by adding the word “Ancient” before Body Tempering Liquid, Zhuge Zheng had immediately elevated its value.

“Nine more bottles?”

“This time I must get at least one bottle.”

Many people got excited.

“Bring them up,” Zhuge Zheng ordered.

Then, another maid walked up, carrying two bottles of Body Tempering Liquid on the tray.

Clearly! Zhuge Zheng didn’t want to auction them off one by one.

Lin Feng’s eyes lit up, thinking, “He truly is an old fox. If he auctions them off one by one, the price won’t go up as much. With only ten bottles in total, auctioning off several bottles at once, these Great Forces will surely get into a fierce bidding war!”

“These two bottles of Body Tempering Liquid have a starting bid of two hundred thousand Gold Coins, and each bid must be at least twenty thousand Gold Coins. Everyone is welcome to bid now.”

Ouyang Jing smiled enchantingly.

“Thirty million Gold Coins, these two bottles of Ancient Body Tempering Liquid are mine,” said a middle-aged man.

“It’s someone from the Ancient Wu Family, a brother of the Wu Family Clan Leader named Wu Mo Fan, a formidable cultivator of the Yin Yang Realm,” someone whispered softly, intimidated by the bidder’s impressive background.

But others scoffed. They would not be apprehensive just because he was from an Ancient Family since there were representatives of many other Great Forces sitting in the auction, none of whom were weaker than the Ancient Families!

“Fifty million, I’ll take it!” Another middle-aged man spoke.

“It’s Gu Changxiao from the Ancient Yang Sect! This Ancient Yang Sect has always been at odds with the Ancient Wu Family—there’s going to be a good show now!”

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

“Gu Changxiao, you want to compete with me?” Wu Mo Fan’s face suddenly darkened.

“At an auction, naturally the highest bidder wins!”

“Sixty million!” Wu Mo Fan said coldly.

“Haha, if we’re comparing wealth, your Ancient Wu Family really can’t match our Ancient Yang Sect.”

Gu Changxiao laughed loudly and stretched out one finger, “One hundred million!”

Boom…

The entire auction house exploded with noise; Gu Changxiao was really making a big move, having pushed the price of two bottles of Body Tempering Liquid up to one hundred million—one bottle being fifty million.

Those from True Martial Country’s royal family who had bought the first bottle of Body Tempering Liquid for twenty million privately rejoiced at their swift decision; otherwise, they surely would have missed out on the Body Tempering Liquid.

Wu Mo Fan’s complexion immediately became extremely gloomy. In terms of financial power, the Ancient Wu Family indeed couldn’t compete with the Ancient Yang Sect, which was an Alchemy Sect—a type of force that was the wealthiest, able to refine some precious elixirs and sell them at astronomical prices.

And this time, the Ancient Yang Sect was spending a lot of money to buy the Body Tempering Liquid in the hope of researching the ingredients and deducing the refining method, yet it was clear that they would surely come away with nothing. The Ancient Medicine God’s recipes and methods were not something others could deduce—even Divine Spirit Level Alchemists from the Ancient Era couldn’t figure it out.

“Hmph.” Wu Mo Fan snorted coldly and remained silent.

“One hundred million! Is there a higher bid?”

“One hundred million for the first time!”

“One hundred million for the second time!”

“One hundred million for the third time!”

“Sold!”

…

The second batch of Body Tempering Liquid was sold for a staggering hundred million.

“Am I really becoming a billionaire like this?” Lin Feng still felt somewhat unreal. He previously thought that these bottles of Body Tempering Liquid selling for several tens of thousands of Gold Coins would already be great.

But unexpectedly, he had now auctioned off just three bottles of Body Tempering Liquid, and had already earned one hundred and twenty million Gold Coins!

This was truly a colossal fortune.

No wonder so many people wanted to become Alchemists. To be one meant endless wealth.

Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel somewhat emotional.

At this moment, a maid walked up again, carrying a tray with three bottles of Body Tempering Liquid!

Ouyang Jing said, “This is the third batch of Body Tempering Liquid, and also the penultimate batch. The starting price is three hundred thousand Gold Coins; each bid must be no less than thirty thousand Gold Coins!”

After a brief silence!

Many people began to bid frantically!

“One million.”

“Two million.”

…

“Thirty million.”

…

“Fifty million!”

…

“One hundred million”

…

“One hundred and thirty million!”

…

“One hundred and thirty million! Are there any higher bids?”

Zhuge Zheng said in a loud voice.

“One hundred and thirty million for the first time!”

“One hundred and thirty million for the second time!”

“One hundred and thirty million for the third time!”

The bidder, who was the Vice Sect Hierarch of the East County Divine Land Azure Sky Sect, revealed a slight smile when he heard it was about to be sold.

Just as Zhuge Zheng’s gavel was about to come down.

A woman’s voice suddenly rang out.

“Two hundred million, I’ll take it!”

…

Boom.

The entire auction house erupted with noise again; the price of three bottles of Body Tempering Liquid had been pushed to an astonishing two hundred million—a single bottle nearing seventy million, even more shocking than the earlier two bottles at one hundred million.
