Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2013: Chapter 2014: Sparring Match

The introduction was incredibly simple; the auctioneer merely used this one sentence to introduce the mysterious Pill Furnace!

Of course, at this moment, the description of the mysterious Pill Furnace also appeared mid-air.

Ye Luo carefully examined it. The Pill Furnace itself was not particularly special; whether it be the materials used or the method of crafting, none were eye-catching. Perhaps the only thing worth paying attention to was the elixirs sealed within this Pill Furnace!

It is said that since its successful crafting, this Pill Furnace has only produced this one batch of elixirs. However, for some unknown reason, the elixirs were completed, but the Pill Furnace could not be opened, thus remaining sealed all this time.

”Starting bid is one hundred thousand, each increment cannot be less than five thousand!”

With the auctioneer’s words, the auction began!

But the young master of the Chen Family impatiently asked someone to shout.

”Kunwu Sect, Chen Family offers two hundred thousand. Our young master likes this Pill Furnace, so we hope everyone will give us face!”

Kunwu Sect’s Chen Family?

Upon hearing this, everyone in the rooms or at the auction chose to give up.

”So it is the young master of the Chen Family; my apologies. Since Young Master Chen likes this Pill Furnace, we naturally won’t snatch what others favor!”

”We must save face for Young Master Chen; this Pill Furnace is nothing special anyway, we’ll give up!”

...

Of course, despite some giving up, there was still some doubt in their hearts.

”Even the Chen Family of Kunwu Sect is interested in this Pill Furnace. Could there be something strange about it?”

Someone asked their companion this question.

But their companion glanced at them.

”Are you stupid? The quality of this Pill Furnace is just average. What good elixirs could it produce? Don’t be fooled by the sealed batch inside; clearly, its quality is unlikely to be great! Even if we calculated the value based on the best possible elixirs it could produce without any defects, at most it would only be worth a few hundred thousand Immortal Stones!

It’s not worth offending the Chen Family for a mere few hundred thousand Immortal Stones! No need to care why the young master is interested in this Pill Furnace; we won’t get involved. Just give the young master some face, since it’s not something we absolutely need to bid for!”

Many indeed held this kind of thinking!

Young Master Chen announcing his identity indeed caused many to abandon thoughts of bidding, though it also brought about some suspicion. However, the Pill Furnace’s quality and the best possible elixirs it could produce were evident, so its highest value could be estimated.

Even if there were doubts, nobody would actually make a move at this moment.

Offending the Chen Family’s young master for a Pill Furnace worth a few hundred thousand? Or even Kunwu Sect? Only a fool would do such a thing!

However, just as everyone gave up, a voice lightly arose!

”Two hundred and ten thousand!”

Yes, it was Ye Luo!

Ye Luo did not know the exact objective of the young master, though Ao Dan had told him that it seemed the young master’s target was indeed a Pill Furnace!

Since the young master was now showing such a strong stance, even using the Sect and family’s power to suppress everyone.

Ye Luo naturally wouldn’t let him have his way; regardless of whether this Pill Furnace was the young master’s objective, Ye Luo would rather err than miss!

The whole auction house was slightly startled; there was actually someone daring enough to disrupt Young Master Chen’s plans!

Wasn’t this seeking death?

Many people were already secretly investigating Ye Luo’s identity!

Of course, because Ye Luo was in a VIP room, they couldn’t uncover any information!

Upon hearing someone actually wanting to compete, the young master’s eyes suddenly widened. He was determined to claim the Pill Furnace, knowing that it was a task assigned by the entire Chen Family. Precisely because it was simple, his father managed to secure it for him.

Successfully acquiring the Pill Furnace was considered an achievement, big or small.

The significance of the Pill Furnace was known only to the Chen Family.

However, the young master was very clear; if he couldn’t handle even this small task, it would not only affect him but also his father, the Family Head, who would undoubtedly face pressure from other Chen Family members.

The Pill Furnace, unremarkable and lacking any special traits, was actually a Dark secret of the Chen Family!

Its loss had frightened the Chen Family heavily.

It was later discovered that a playful junior from the family had stolen it, and the Chen Family showed no mercy, promptly executing the junior. But the key issue was the junior had already exchanged the Pill Furnace for Immortal Stones, hence the family had to continue their pursuit!

In fact, the theft of the Pill Furnace occurred only a month ago!

The only surprising twist for the Chen Family was the Pill Furnace appearing at the Nine Dragons Club auction in Longhun City!

As the young master left, the Family Head had repeatedly instructed him to acquire the Pill Furnace at all costs, using any means necessary.

Yet the young master didn’t consider too much. In his eyes, merely stating his identity should deter anyone from attempting to snatch it away.

Of course, if not for the variable that is Ye Luo, things might have unfolded exactly as the young master anticipated!

”Increase the bid to five hundred thousand! Tell the opponent that it’s better not to oppose me!”

Young Master Chen originally had a carefree personality. Ye Luo openly challenging him was already infuriating him.

Chen Zhong, however, was more understanding than the young master. He realized, if they truly threatened others as the young master suggested, others might combat the Chen Family out of spite, even if they didn’t care about the Pill Furnace!

After all, anyone seated in these VIP rooms has some status. Kunwu Sect is indeed powerful, but the Chen Family is merely one of the five families in Kunwu Sect, and there are forces around Longhun City that can still contend with the Chen Family!

Therefore, Chen Zhong personally approached, and had his subordinate step down before stating the bid.

”Our Chen Family offers five hundred thousand. To the esteemed guest across, we wonder which friend you represent. Our young master favors the Pill Furnace because it is quite ingeniously crafted. Coincidentally, our Kunwu Sect Master is approaching a grand birthday, so our young master intends to gift this Pill Furnace to the Sect Master. We hope our friend across can give us face!”

As he spoke, Chen Zhong maintained a smile, and everyone could hear the reconciliatory tone in his words.

Chen Zhong’s words were unmistakably clear; the item was favored by their young master, who intended to present it as a birthday gift for the Kunwu Sect Master.

Indeed, who is the Kunwu Sect Master? Ordinary gifts wouldn’t catch his eye, but the Pill Furnace has a unique design, and most importantly, it seals an unknown batch of elixirs, baffling ordinary individuals.
