Chapter 224 Qishan Lotus
“After diluting a jar of raw wine a hundred times, it can be used by ordinary warriors to defend against the cold. After diluting it ten thousand times, even ordinary people can drink it. We believed that it is worth selling at the reserve price of five million taels of silver.”
Eunuch Feng finished the introduction with a smile.
“I bid six million taels!”
After a brief period of silence, someone immediately started to bid with madness.
The ice toxin was far from rare, and it was common even for warriors living in the Northland. Every year, countless people died from the cold air in the Northland. If the Linli Building set up a branch in the Northland, it will surely become the most popular restaurant!
“I bid seven million taels!”
“Eight million taels!”
“Ten million taels!!”
The price was rising rapidly. Most of these people were martial merchants who saw a great profit from the Liehuo Spirits. If someone could sell this kind of wine to the Northland, they would definitely make a lot of money!
In the end, the raw wine of Liehuo Spirits was bid by a martial merchant who frequently traveled among different countries at a high price of 15 million taels of silver. The merchants who failed to bid were not discouraged, and they began to inquire about the location of the Linli Building.
It was believed that after today, the Liehuo Spirits would be completely famous. Then, it would be much more convenient for Su Li to work in the name of the Linli Building.
In the VIP room of the Ling Family, while Ling Li saw the Liehuo Spirits, he began to think with his eyes shining. It seemed that the Linli Building finally announced its presence to the world…
As the sun gradually set to the west, the Auction Fair came to an end in the evening. Only the last few goods were left, and the bidding became more intense. Almost all the people in the VIP rooms were bidding, and the warriors in the auction hall were impecunious. So, they could only be onlookers.
“The next lot is the penultimate item in this auction, Qishan Lotus!”
After shouting for one day, the sound of Eunuch Feng was still sharp and loud. “As we all know, the utility of this thing is infinite. The price starts at 50 million taels of silver!! Now, you shall bid!”
When warriors heard his words, the auction hall was immediately in uproar and tumult.
“Qishan Lotus! It’s real!”
“Are they crazy? The Dongfang Family even take it out for auction?”
“I bid 60 million taels!”
“You want to bid only 60 million taels for this treasure. Are you serious? I bid 80 million taels of silver!”
“We, Luolei Sect, will take it. We bid 10 million taels of gold!”
10 million tales of gold equaled to 100 million taels of silver. Such a price frightened the warriors, because they couldn’t earn so much money in their whole life.
The people of the Luolei Sect just finished his words, someone from the opposite VIP room interjected, “Who do you think you are! Did anybody know the Luolei Sect? We, the Feixing Sect, will bid 20 million taels of gold!”
“How dare you! Luolei Sect bids 25 million taels!”
The mad bidding competition between the VIP rooms on the second floor made warriors astonished. This was only the penultimate item, but its bidding price was far beyond their imagination. However, they still considered it’s a worthwhile trip to witness such an occasion.
People in the VIP rooms on the third floor and a few VIP rooms on the second floor were still quiet and didn’t rush to bid.
Su Li carefully looked at the crystal-like pink lotus on the tray. It was so delicate as if it had just been picked. She was shocked for that. The value of this thing was no less than that of the Full Moon and Heart Strings. It even surpassed it.
“Miss…”
Yun Yi couldn’t help reminding, “The Qishan Lotus has twenty-four petals, and each petal can make a warrior of the acquired realm break through into the inborn hurdle. It is a rare treasure of the time to cultivate our force, and we should not miss this opportunity.”
Recently, Su Li sent them a lot of adjuvants for their practice. Therefore, people of the Yunge Sect made rapid progress in cultivation. They were shocked by Su Li’s medical methods, which could even assist their cultivation. Yun Yi was smart. He found that Su Li wanted to cultivate the Yunge Sect. So, it’s naturally for him to pay more attention.
Su Li nodded and a glimmer of smile lit her eyes. She didn’t refute. She said, “Then, go and bid for it.”
“Yes!”
Yun Yi was cheered and immediately began to bid, “35 million taels of gold!”
Lord Rui’s Mansion had engaged in many businesses for years, which helped them acquire a lot of gold. They can even buy all auction houses in the entire Yunjing City!
“People from the VIP room on the third floor just bid!”
“That’s Princess Li. Didn’t she violate the rule?” Someone questioned angrily.
“Lord Rui just announced that Su Li is his daughter, so, she is called Princess Li. But she didn’t become a member of the Dongfang Family. Her surname is still Su. So, she didn’t violate the rule.”
“I see!”
The crowd fall into discussion, and many forces that just arrived in Yunjing City didn’t know about Su Li. In this occasion, they began to inquire the information about her and subsequently they disdained her. They thought that it was not worth being afraid of a princess.
“VIP Room 21 bids 40 million taels!”
“VIP Room 11 bids 60 million taels!”
Many strong forces wanted the Qishan Lotus. Yun Yi’s bid was quickly surpassed. This time he did not rush to bid, but calmly waited for the last minute.
Su Li smiled slightly. If the Qishan Lotus had the only effect that Yun Yi said, she wouldn’t ask him to bid for it. After all, the Ao Sword Skills could also help to break through the inborn hurdle.
As long as people had a good perception, they could understand the first three levels of the Ao Sword Skills within three years. They could break through the bottleneck, strengthen their foundation, and master powerful sword skills. It was much useful compared with the Qishan Lotus. In this way, the Qishan Lotus was much inferior to the Ao Sword Skills.
After more than ten years, the price of the Qishan Lotus couldn’t be so cheap, and the price would be upped at least ten times. Even so, there might be no Qishan Lotus on the market. If she remembered right, two years later, a relic would emerge in the territory of the Nanjiang Country. It was a mansion left by the Mighty who mastered the medical circle of the Real Spiritual Circle. At that time, countless extinct prescriptions would reappear, including the Xuming Pill!
The Xuming Pill here was not for healing, but for extending life. Each one could defy the nature and extend life for 50 years!!
The prescription then was taken away by Yu Ming, the Medicine King of the Real Spiritual Circle. In the previous life of Su Li, she entered the Martial Arts Circle, and followed a person from the evil circle to the Real Spiritual Circle and witnessed the entire process of refining the Emergency Pill.
The Medicine King had a close relationship with that person and did not hide the progress. Therefore, she had the chance to remember the whole process secretly. Although she had never attained the Qishan Lotus and never refined the Xuming Pill in the previous life, but with her talent of refining skills, it was easy for her to recall the memories and make the pill.
Su Li’s eyes fluttered down. Qi Xianqing was close to death, and she knew it but she said nothing. She owed much to Qi Xianqing, and it was not enough by only giving him the second half of the Ghost Valley Meditation Direction.
Although she didn’t know how Qi Xianqing in the previous life defy the nature, but in this life, she would prolong his life.
As Su Li fell into deep thought, the price of the Qishan Lotus had risen to 190 million taels, and it took a long time for each bid before someone continued to increase the price.
Yu Yi was worried and he looked at Su Li. Su Li smiled and pointed at the Qishan Lotus in the tray, “Get it at all costs!”
Yun Yi looked firm. He turned his head and said, “200 million taels of gold!!”
Wow!!
It was the first treasure people bid more than 200 million taels in today’s Auction Fair. How couldn’t people be surprised?
“Princess Li is really brave. We quit.” Someone said insincerely with a bad tone, “I’m afraid that Princess Li has the money to buy it, but has no chance to use it…”
Someone started the topic, and immediately some other people understood him and burst into laughter in the hall. Yun Yi looked worried and he asked “Miss, shall we leave in advance? There must be in chaos when the Auction Fair ends.”
“No, I want to see who will buy the last lot!”
It seemed that Su Li was not afraid at all due to the power of the Dongfang Family. She refused him without hesitation. Yun Yi could only sigh. After the auction manager came to finish the trade, he retreated without a trace to arrange staff.
No matter who got the Full Moon and Heart Strings, the entire Auction Fair would be chaotic. At that time, there would be countless people trying to loot. Su Li with the Qishan Lotus would be just like a red lantern in the night. She and the force who got the Full Moon and Heart Strings would become the target of the public!
However, no matter how powerful the enemy was, he would do his best to protect the princess.
After a brief commotion in the hall, a young lady carried a tray covered with a piece of red cloth and walked to the high platform. All bidders suddenly were in silence, and tension began to spread.
Eunuch Feng smiled, as if he didn’t notice the tension, but there were two cold-faced and middle-aged people appearing on both sides of him. The indifferent sights in their eyes made the warriors in the hall breathe hard. Some of them with low cultivation even couldn’t help spitting out some blood. All warriors were shocked.
They were in the peak of the inborn realm!
And two warriors in the peak of the inborn realm appeared at once!
“The royal family is really powerful.”
The coquettish young man of the Hehuan Sect also put down the contempt, acknowledging the power of the Dongfang Family. The other small sects which were uppity and rude were trembling and reconsidering their previous threatening comments.
Anyway, Su Li was still a member of the Dongfang Family. If someone hurt Su Li, would they make the Dongfang Family angry?
Many people thought of this, and they restrained the cold a lot in their eyes.
Dongfang Family once dispatched warriors to suppress forces in the Martial Arts Circle, and they had never thought that their action helped Su Li to relieve a lot of pressure.
“You must have been waiting for the last lot for a long time. So, I won’t say more.”
Eunuch Feng opened the red cloth directly, and a transparent glass bottle was revealed on the golden plate. A pill in the moonlight-like color lay quietly in it.
People in the hall immediately breathed heavier, and all people gaze at the pill.
Ling Li’s breath was slightly heavier, but he was not staring at the Full Moon and Heart Strings, but at the young lady. He said sullenly, “Is she one of our members?”
Ling Qinglan was slightly embarrassed, “She is not. It seems that the Dongfang Family had discovered something.”
Ling Xian stood behind them with her eyes lowered down. She looked very worried.
How could she fulfill Su Li’s wish?
“This thing is the real Full Moon and Heart Strings! Any female warrior, as long as she takes this pill, the pill will take root in her pubic region, and grow by itself. The female warrior will become a prime warrior with unparalleled power!”
Eunuch Feng became excited, “This is a treasure nourished by the nature. Now, let’s start bidding! It’s… priceless!”
It’s really a priceless treasure!
