128 Chapter 128

Hong Mei raised her microphone and said, "Everyone should know about the four grades of pills that exist. This pill is one that is said to be of the Mortal Grade, but with how difficult it is to refine, it is regarded by all to be in the Earth Grade. This is a pill that has great effects on one's cultivation and is rarely produced, so this is a rare chance for everyone! Please don't miss this chance!"

Elder Hua narrowed her eyes as she looked at the pill before saying, "Why are they auctioning off our pill so quickly? Didn't she say that there was another item after this?"

Lin Fan had also knit his brows at first, but he quickly relaxed them after smelling the scent in the air, "This isn't our pill."

Elder Hua immediately turned to Xu Yi in shock, "This isn't our pill?! How are you so certain?"

Lin Fan calmly said, "You can smell the medicinal scent in the air, that isn't the characteristic of an 100% purity pill. But based on the concentration of this scent and the surface of the pill, it should be a high purity pill of at least over 95%."

Elder Hua turned back to look at the pill with a curious gaze before asking, "Who else would have made the Enlightenment Pill? And to make it with this high purity, it isn't simple."

Lin Fan revealed a smile, "Who else do you think would be able to make this pill?"

Elder Hua turned to the other VIP room and said, "You mean…"

Lin Fan didn't agree or deny this, he just said with a smile, "Well, in the end, we still have another surprise for him. It's not our fault that he had the same plan as us."

Elder Hua just smiled at this without saying a thing, but with the way her eyes sparkled, it seemed like she really couldn't wait to see what happened next.

Meanwhile, in Elder Chen's VIP room, he was sitting back with a glass of wine in his hand and enjoying a few chocolates while watching the auction happen.

While he was surprised that there was another item that was coming up after his pill, his plans were still progressing smoothly. He had worked with the Alchemy Master to make this pill, they had put everything they had into this just for this one moment.

After she finished introducing the pill, Hong Mei added, "This pill came to us from Elder Chen and the Alchemy Master of the Alchemy Tower, so this is a very special item, please don't miss out on this! Moreover, it is a pill with 98% purity!"

When this was said, Elder Chen could see that several people in the crowd fell into contemplation. He knew that once these royals and nobles knew that the Alchemy Master was someone who could make pills with such high purity, they would definitely want to align themselves with them to gain access to these pills. This move would even move the families that had aligned themselves with Elder Hua's faction.

Elder Chen turned to the other VIP room and he had a smile on his face.

He really wanted to see what kind of expression that old hag had on her face. He really wanted to drown himself in the pleasure of seeing her anger, but it was too bad that these glasses were one way glass, so he couldn't see into that other VIP room at all.

Still he couldn't help happily imagining what kind of expression that old hag had now.

Once Hong Mei finished introducing the pill, she finally came to the bidding, "Since this is a special item and one of the final items, I think no one will have any objections to a starting price of one hundred thousand crystals. Do we have any bidders…"

But before she could finish, there were signs that were already going up.

"One hundred and ten thousand!"

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Two hundred thousand!"

The price continued to steadily climb by tens of thousand until it had reached three hundred and fifty thousand crystals. Once it reached this point, the bids came much slower, but still there were still quite a few bidders left.

Finally once the price broke five hundred thousand, there were only two people left in the bid.

One was a family that was famous for being neutral and one was a family that was firmly on the side of the Alchemy Master.

Eventually the family that was neutral won and after they made the winning bid, the head of that family turned to Elder Chen's VIP room and said, "As long as there are enough benefits, we can consider working with the Alchemy Master."

This really was a bold move, he was basically declaring to the entire city that he was putting his entire family onto the boat of the Alchemy Master. However, this could have been considered a smart move if it wasn't for what happened next.

There were also several other family heads that looked at that one family head with contemplative looks as they thought about switching sides as well. This included several family heads that were currently on Elder Hua's side.

After all, these family heads cared about what mattered to their family most and whoever could offer them the best resources, that would be the side they would back.

Once the hall had calmed down from the excitement, Hong Mei went right into the next item since she wanted to keep the momentum going, "Now, I'm sure that plenty of you are disappointed since you missed this chance, but our Treasure House wants to give you another chance."

Many people were confused by this.

What other chance? Wasn't there only a single pill?

When Elder Chen heard this, he firmly knit his brows because he could tell that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. In short, it felt like something was about to go wrong for him…

Hong Mei paused for a bit before continuing, "For those of you who missed out on the last pill, you better get your wallets ready for this next one."

Then the same process occurred and another pill bottle was brought out, but this time when the pill came onto her hand, everyone was confused because there was no sudden release of medicinal scent.

Hong Mei smiled when she saw this and she said, "I'm sure many of you are confused why I'm saying all this, but I can tell you now that this is indeed another Enlightenment Pill, but…"

She paused once again to create even more hype and some of the people in the crowd couldn't take it anymore.

"What's so special about this one? It doesn't even look as good as the other one!"

"There isn't even a scent that comes with this one, it's clearly an inferior product!"

"Hong Mei, I love you! Please marry me!"

Hong Mei just smiled and said nothing for a while. Finally she broke her silence as she said, "While this pill doesn't seem like much, I can tell everyone that it is indeed better than the last pill. Our appraisers have carefully looked over this and they have determined...that this pill is of 100% purity!"

When this was said, the entire hall fell into silence as everyone was shocked by this!

Even Elder Chen couldn't avoid this shock.

He had been doubtful at first, but then he remembered something important. A pill that was impure would have a scent because all the medicinal essence wasn't captured in the pill and leaked out, creating that scent. For a pill to have no scent at all, it was either a trash pill, which was impossible since it wouldn't be the climax of an auction, or it was a pill with 100% purity!

Elder Chen immediately pressed the button on his chair and shouted, "Let me test it!"

Hong Mei was about to continue with her introduction when she was suddenly taken aback by this.

But the voice in her earpiece told her to continue with this and allow Elder Chen to appraise the pill. After all, Elder Chen was one of the ten elders of the Alchemy Tower and a Grandmaster Alchemist, they had to give him some face. Moreover, if he was willing to appraise the pill, it would definitely give more evidence of this pill's extraordinariness.

Hong Mei's shock only lasted a few seconds before she revealed a smile again, "Everyone, Elder Chen of the Alchemy Tower has graciously offered to appraise this pill for us. Let us please welcome Elder Chen to the stage!"

Elder Chen rushed out of his room and quickly came to the stage, taking less than ten seconds.

The moment he arrived, he completely ignored Hong Mei and moved over to the pill, looking over it and taking a sniff from time to time. As he continued to appraise it, his eyes couldn't help getting wider and wider.

This pill was in a realm that he could never reach!

It was a true pill of 100% purity!
