Next, it was Zhang Hao's dragon tiger pill's turn to be auctioned. At this moment, he was also very much looking forward to how many lower grade crystal stones this dragon tiger pill could be auctioned for.
"This is a treasure consigned for auction by a VIP of this merchant house, an eighth-rank Dan, the dragon tiger pill. I believe there should be Cultivators present! The dragon tiger pill can give a Great Martial Master Cultivator an eighty percent chance of breaking through to Martial King. Martial Warriors in the Martial King Realm have a thirty percent chance of breaking through to Martial Grandmaster. This is a lost Dan. And after being appraised by Elder Wu, the Seven-rank Alchemist of this merchant house, it is a High Grade dragon tiger pill," the Auctioneer said, spitting as he spoke.
Although what the Auctioneer said was a bit exaggerated, it was close. Although Zhang Hao did not break through to Martial Grandmaster using the dragon tiger pill, it should be known that what he cultivated was the God-Demon Overlord Body Art. This ancient Body Refinement technique requires very high cultivation resources. Naturally, a mere dragon tiger pill could not make him break through.
However, for other Cultivators, the medicinal power of this dragon tiger pill was sufficient.
An eighth-rank Dan!
Among the Martial Warriors present, there were naturally quite a few Cultivators. The difficulty of cultivating for Cultivators is far greater than for some Qi Refinement practitioners. Of course, although Body Refinement is not easy to Cultivate, Cultivators have a significant advantage when facing Qi Refinement practitioners of the same rank. This is why, even though Body Refinement is difficult, many Martial Warriors still flock to it. However, the cultivation resources needed by Cultivators are also very large.
As for the dragon tiger pill, some Cultivators had still heard of it. After all, this is a Dan related to Body Refinement.
"Was it appraised by Elder Wu, the Seven-rank Alchemist? Then there's no problem. And it's a High Grade dragon tiger pill, this is absolutely something one can only hope to encounter!"
"I must bid for this dragon tiger pill!"
Some Cultivators' eyes shone with golden light as they began to rub their hands together.
"Alright, the auction for the dragon tiger pill begins now, starting bid is one million lower grade crystal stones," the Auctioneer called out.
"One million one hundred thousand!"
"One million three hundred thousand!"
The price climbed steadily, and the competition on the scene was fierce. Even if some guests present were not Cultivators, those whose Family juniors were Cultivators also prepared to bid for this dragon tiger pill to let their Family juniors use it.
The first dragon tiger pill was immediately bid up to a high price of two million five hundred thousand. It was bought by a Cultivator.
Seeing that the other Cultivators were a bit disappointed, the Auctioneer smiled and said, "Please rest assured, there are seven of these dragon tiger pills. We will now proceed with the auction for the second one. This one is also a High Grade dragon tiger pill."
This time, this dragon tiger pill was bid up to two million two hundred thousand crystal stones. It was also bought by a Cultivator.
In the end, the seven dragon tiger pills were auctioned for a total of nineteen million lower grade crystal stones, which is equivalent to one hundred ninety thousand high-grade crystal stones.
Zhang Hao felt somewhat like he was dreaming at this moment. The cost of these dragon tiger pills was only a few tens of thousands of lower grade crystal stones. He never expected that refining them into Dan and putting them up for auction would result in such huge profits! No wonder people say Alchemists are all tycoons! It was indeed true. With these one hundred ninety thousand high-grade crystal stones as a cushion, Zhang Hao felt even more confident now.
Of course, Zhang Hao had not forgotten that there were still three top-grade dragon tiger pills. The High Grade dragon tiger pills had already sold for sky-high prices; he wondered how Heaven-Defying these even better top-grade Dan would be.
"Next, what will be auctioned is still the dragon tiger pill. Perhaps everyone is very curious, the dragon tiger pills were just auctioned. Why continue to auction the dragon tiger pill?"
The Auctioneer smiled slightly, looking at the guests present.
As expected, the Auctioneers present all showed confused expressions. Clearly, the Auctioneer had hit upon their thoughts.
"I can tell everyone responsibly, the dragon tiger pill being auctioned this time is unique," the Auctioneer said with a smile.
"How is it unique? No matter how unique a dragon tiger pill is, it's still a dragon tiger pill," a guest below shouted, puzzled.
"Good question. May I ask if everyone knows what rank is above High Grade Dan?" the Auctioneer asked.
"Top-grade!" An aged voice came from one of the private booths.
Sitting in the private booth was an Old Man around sixty years old.
The Auctioneer smiled and said, "That's right. But among everyone present, has anyone ever seen a top-grade Dan?"
The Old Man who had answered earlier said disdainfully, "Ignorance. Although top-grade Dan do exist, they are limited to legends. I'm afraid only in the Emperor Domain are there top-grade Dan. The Northern Region is a barren land; even High Grade Dan rarely appear, let alone top-grade Dan."
As the Old Man spoke, he suddenly paused, looked at the Auctioneer, and asked somewhat excitedly, "Could it be that what is going to be auctioned next is a top-grade dragon tiger pill?"
The Auctioneer nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, what is about to be auctioned next is indeed a top-grade dragon tiger pill."
"Boom!"
All the guests present became excited. The guests might not be Alchemists, but they knew about the legends of top-grade Dan. They knew that it was almost impossible for top-grade Dan to appear in the world. Whether they even existed in the Emperor Domain was still debatable.
"Perhaps some people present don't believe it, but this was personally appraised by Elder Wu, the dedicated Auctioneer of this establishment, so there will be no mistake," the Auctioneer said with a smile.
Wu Xiande is a famous Seven-rank Alchemist in the Northern Region. Perhaps he cannot refine top-grade Dan, but appraising top-grade Dan is not a problem for him. After all, Wu Xiande would not joke with his reputation.
Upon hearing that it was personally appraised by Wu Xiande, the guests present immediately dispelled all doubts. They began to rub their hands together, preparing to bid for this top-grade dragon tiger pill.
According to legend, top-grade Dan are extremely Heaven-Defying. Not only can their medicinal effects be absorbed one hundred percent, but they also far exceed the original medicinal effects. Even some guests who did not need the dragon tiger pill were prepared to participate in the competition.
"The auction begins now! The starting bid is ten million lower grade crystal stones," the Auctioneer called out.
This starting price was indeed very high, but as the starting price for a top-grade dragon tiger pill, it was also very normal.
"Fifteen million!"
"Eighteen million!"
"Twenty million!"
...
Inside private room number ten, Zhang Hao was extremely excited. Damn it, this was like robbing money, robbing money wasn't this fast. However, he couldn't refine these top-grade Dan anytime he wanted. This time, refining two top-grade Dan also had some element of luck.
In the end, the first top-grade dragon tiger pill was sold for thirty million lower grade crystal stones. The three top-grade dragon tiger pills sold for one hundred million lower grade crystal stones. This number, even with Zhang Hao's mental preparation, still left him stunned. It was hard to imagine.
"Zhang Hao, from now on, I'll stick with you."
"Boss, you are my Chu Wei's Boss, please keep me! I, Chu Wei, can warm beds, can act like a beast..." Chu Wei looked at Zhang Hao fawningly and smiled.
Even the originally extremely calm Zhang Hao was constantly grinning foolishly at this moment.
Mo Qing, Fu Qingchen, Shi Lei, and the others also looked at Zhang Hao with astonished expressions. Although they were not poor, the total crystal stones of their respective families combined likely did not amount to this much. It was even unheard of.
