CHAPTER 181: CHAPTER 156 WORTHLESS! (2/5)_1

"Hello, to prevent disruption, we’re charging a deposit of 100 million for those collecting a bidding number. After the auction, if you do not win any bids, you can retrieve your deposit. If you win a bid, the deposit will go towards the payment. If it’s not enough, you can make up the remaining amount."

"No problem." Chen Mo promptly took out a Gold Coin.

"Alright, here is your bidding number. Please sign your name and provide your Heavenly Path System contact number here, so we can accurately refund your deposit."

Chen Mo nodded and signed his name.

"Brother Mo, are you going to bid?"

Seeing Chen Mo actually take a bidding number, Liu Yiming was somewhat surprised. Even if he had money, he shouldn’t bid on this thing! After all, this item is expensive and useless for combat professionals, who generally don’t get sick.

"I just got it to have a look. After all, the money will be refunded if I don’t win any bids."

When Liu Yiming heard Chen Mo say this, he didn’t say anything else.

"By the way, can I bring my younger brother over to sit with me?"

"Sorry sir, our seating is limited, so that’s not possible. Your younger brother can watch from the side."

"It’s fine, Brother Mo, you go ahead. I’m good standing here." Liu Yiming smiled and didn’t seem to mind.

Chen Mo nodded, took bidding card number 55, and went to sit in the middle of a large cluster of seats.

At this time, more than fifty people were already seated in the front, most of them middle-aged and older, with a few looking very young. It’s unclear whether they were naturally young or had consumed the Age-Preserving Holy Fruit.

As the crowd gradually arrived, the seats behind Chen Mo were progressively filled.

When all one hundred auction seats were taken, the auction for the Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine was about to begin.

At that moment, the Pharmacist on stage picked up a microphone and began, "Thank you all very much for your presence today. I have brought three bottles of Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine and a Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine’s prescription to Fengze City!

"First, let me introduce the effects of the Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine..."

As the Pharmacist explained the all-curing properties of the Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine, the onlookers listened with burning excitement. If this medicine is really so incredible, having a few bottles at home would mean never having to fear disease again. However, considering how potent this sounds, we know it won’t be cheap.

After explaining the effects of the Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine, the Pharmacist went on to introduce the Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine’s prescription.

"I always sell with transparency. Even though the Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine is remarkably effective, its creation is not easy.

"Firstly, the Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine’s prescription is useless for the average person. Only four-star Pharmacists or above can create it after learning the recipe.

"Secondly, the Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine’s prescription is a permanently limited-quantity recipe. Each person can only produce up to ten bottles. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have used a Recipe Extraction Stone to retrieve the recipe again.

"Thirdly, it’s quite a hassle to obtain the necessary materials to make the Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine.

"I’ve disclosed all relevant information to you. Now, let’s talk about the starting prices.

"Each bottle of Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine has a base price of 100 million, and each bid increment must not be less than 10 million. The base price for the Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine’s prescription is 1 billion, with each bid increment not less than 100 million!"

As the four-star Pharmacist finished speaking, an attractive young woman walked onto the stage. She took the Pharmacist’s microphone and continued, "I believe Pharmacist Lin has explained everything very clearly. Now, let’s welcome the famous Appraisers of Fengze City, Mr. Lai and Mr. Wang."

After she finished speaking, the four-star Pharmacist took out a bottle of the potion and placed it on the table. The two top-tier Appraisers from Myriad Heaven Auction House had already stepped onto the stage.

Seeing these two, the crowd was understandably taken aback.

"I didn’t expect the hospital to invite such famous Appraisers to vouch for Pharmacist Lin’s auction. It seems the rumors that Pharmacist Lin is going to be a resident here are true."

"Indeed. These two only appraise items worth hundreds of millions."

The young woman continued, "Now, we’ll have our Appraisers verify the medicine so that everyone can get accurate information."

Appraisers were Appraisers because they possessed special abilities. Items they appraised would show a ’verified’ mark when inspected by others. At the same time, some high-level information, normally difficult to investigate, would also be fully disclosed to those who needed to inspect it.

As the two top-tier Appraisers collaborated on their appraisal, everyone could clearly see the detailed information about the Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine. The ’verified’ mark displayed on the Heavenly Path System panel after inspection further proved that the item was not a fabricated counterfeit. Otherwise, its original, unverified state would have been displayed.

In the past, some cunning practitioners had used this method to deceive people, but as people learned to seek out Appraisers, this trick became less effective.

"Alright, the two Appraisers have completed their appraisal. I believe there should be no more doubts. Now, let’s start the auction for the first bottle of Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine!

"This item is available in limited quantities. If you miss this chance, it will be very difficult to come across it again. Please bid enthusiastically.

"Now, let the bidding begin!"

As the young woman finished, the bidding immediately began. A bottle with a starting price of 100 million soon reached one billion.

Liu Yiming, standing nearby to observe, saw that Chen Mo hadn’t made a move. He was now convinced that Chen Mo was truly just there to watch.

The first bottle soon sold for 1.5 billion!

Chen Mo, listening from the side, was astonished. These people are incredibly wealthy, spending so much money on a potion primarily intended for lifestyle professionals!

Soon, the auction for the second bottle of Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine began. The bidding for this bottle wasn’t as high as the first, but it ultimately sold for a high price of 1.4 billion.

With two bottles gone, the competition for the final bottle of Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine started even more fiercely. It didn’t take many rounds of bidding to reach one billion. However, once it reached a billion, the bidding slowed. Finally, bids were increasing by only ten million at a time. After reaching 1.4 billion, it continued to increase in this manner.

Eventually, it sold for an astonishing 1.6 billion.

The person who acquired it probably hadn’t expected the bidding for the last bottle to surpass the previous two. However, this was a rare opportunity, not to be missed. He had to secure it, even if it cost over a billion.

As for the prescription, it’s useless for most people. Four-star Pharmacists aren’t that easy to find, are they? There aren’t even ten of them worldwide!

Although everything Pharmacist Lin said was true, he had concealed a very important piece of information: after a four-star Pharmacist crafts a certain quantity of medicine, they can receive a special quest to obtain the Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine’s prescription.

In other words, those who can learn this recipe don’t need to buy it, and those who can’t learn it would find it useless, rendering it essentially valueless!
