Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 1399: Chapter 1398 Another Grudge Seed!

At this moment, the atmosphere at the scene was completely ignited by the appearance of the Resuscitating Pill.

No one present did not want to get their hands on it.

Of course, two billion wasn’t just casually put forth, so wanting to obtain it and actually being able to do so were naturally two different matters.

Seeing the atmosphere so excited, Cao Jianjia couldn’t help but wear a full smile on his face.

”Everyone, let’s start the bidding now.”

As soon as he said this, Lord Hong from the Zijing Shopping Mall immediately made his bid, ”I bid twenty-one billion!”

Lord Hong naturally had heard of the Resuscitating Pill too—it was concocted by Master Lin and could extend a common person’s lifespan by three years. Regarding martial artists, it was also of certain help.

For instance, if their Inner Qi was completely depleted during an encounter with an opponent, taking this pill would restore their Inner Qi. And, by taking it, martial artists could gain a certain increase in strength.

Whether one was a martial artist or a common person, as long as they had the money, who wouldn’t want to obtain one?

”Twenty-two billion!”

A tycoon from the Capital City made his bid, an elderly septuagenarian with declining health.

As for money, he was worth thirty billion and was willing to spend more than twenty billion to buy himself three more years of life.

He had already surpassed the age of knowing his destiny. Now, in his eyes, no matter the allure of women or delicious food, nothing was more important than living a few more years.

Hence, even if he had to spend more than half his wealth to buy the Resuscitating Pill, he was willing.

But evidently, the price of the Resuscitating Pill was far from over.

At this time, the man in the black robe said to Wang Xiuxin, ”Raise the bid.”

Wang Xiuxin nodded and then offered, ”Twenty-three billion!”

Lord Hong: ”Twenty-four billion!”

The septuagenarian tycoon from the Capital City was already struggling but still clenched his teeth and said, ”Twenty-five billion!”

Wang Xiuxin: ”Twenty-six billion!”

In the end, the only bidders left were these three.

Although there were many wealthy individuals here, very few could actually bring out a cash flow of more than twenty billion.

So while everyone really wanted the Resuscitating Pill, not all could afford to bid.

Plus, it was clear to see that Lord Hong and the person beside Young Master Wang Xiuxin were determined to get the Resuscitating Pill. Other bidders likely only had the role of bystanders.

They might have money, but how could they compare with them?

Eventually, even the septuagenarian tycoon from the Capital City couldn’t hold back a sigh and did not bid anymore.

He was worth only about thirty billion, and the current price had reached his limit, so he could only reluctantly give up.

Afterward, only Lord Hong and Wang Xiuxin remained in the bidding.

”Thirty billion!” As Wang Xiuxin shouted a high bid of thirty billion, Lord Hong also seemed overwhelmed.

To come up with thirty billion in cash, he would clearly have to strain himself.

He had no choice but to drop out.

”Is there anyone else bidding?”

Seeing no more bids, Cao Jianjia loudly inquired of the crowd.

Seeing no one respond, Cao Jianjia announced:

”The Resuscitating Pill shall be won by Young Master Wang Xiuxin at the price of thirty billion!”

Wang Xiuxin’s face showed the pang of pain, as the money was surely coming out of his own pocket. After all, he was in need of the man in the black robe, the Alchemist Master Qin, so there was no way he would let the other person pay.

It was like paying respects to someone!

The Alchemist Master Qin, the man in the black robe, also directly said, ”Xiuxin, after my Qi-Boosting Pill is auctioned off, it can offset five billion. The remaining twenty-five billion, you help me pay.”

”My money is needed to bid for that Divine Artifact.”

”Uh-huh,” Wang Xiuxin nodded with unmatched pain.

”Just think of it as tuition fees to become an alchemist...” That was the only way he could console himself.

After the Resuscitating Pill was sold, Cao Jianjia went on to say, ”Congratulations to Young Master Wang Xiuxin for securing the Resuscitating Pill for thirty billion. Truly befitting of a young master, so wealthy and powerful.”

Wang Xiuxin felt even more pained, feeling more at a loss than Jiang Fan had been just earlier. Although Jiang Fan had spent a high price to bid on his own things, at least his car could be taken back. But he had spent twenty-five billion without getting as much as a hair in return.

That Resuscitating Pill, in the end, would still be taken away by the Alchemist Master Qin in the black robe.

Cao Jianjia also mentioned it in passing. After saying this, he then continued:

”Then, let’s continue with the auction!”

”The next item for auction is still Dan medicines!”

”This time, the Dan medicine is the Qi-Boosting Pill, which holds advantages for both martial artists and common soldiers!”

”If there are any well-informed martial artists here, then you should have heard about it. It was produced by the Nanyang Pill Alliance and is very popular in the Martial Arts World now!”

”I’ve heard that even some of the Special Combat Teams participating in this large comparison of the War Department buy them in groups, and after taking them, they greatly enhance the soldiers’ strength. Their power, explosive force, and speed all increase significantly. For martial artists, they can replenish the Inner Qi they’ve expended, becoming a Divine Artifact for combatting opponents...”

”The starting bid for this Qi-Boosting Pill is five hundred million!”

In Master Qin’s view, since the Resuscitating Pill could rise from two billion to three billion, then there was no doubt his Qi-Boosting Pill could increase from five hundred million to one billion.

However, the result was beyond his expectations.

He never imagined that after one minute had passed, not a single person would bid.

Even Wang Xiuxin was getting anxious, ”What’s happening? Why is no one bidding?”

After thinking for a moment, the man in the black robe, Alchemist Master Qin, probably understood why no one was bidding.

Ninety-nine percent of the people present were tycoons, commoners, not martial artists, nor those who engaged in fierce combat. Why would they buy this Qi-Boosting Pill?

It would be utterly useless for them.

That Resuscitating Pill could extend commoners’ lives by three years, so those wealthy individuals were willing to spend enormous amounts of money bidding to live a little longer.

But his Qi-Boosting Pill was different.

It just targeted a different audience!

The few martial artists present, although somewhat tempted, still felt that five hundred million was better left unspent.

After all, it only boosted Inner Qi once, and spending five hundred million for that simply wasn’t worth it. The Resuscitating Pill could also boost Inner Qi, and its effects were even better.

It’s just that without a comparison, there’s no harm done. The superior qualities of the Resuscitating Pill previously made these few martial artists look down on the Qi-Boosting Pill.

They thought instead of spending over five hundred million to bid on your Qi-Boosting Pill, they’d rather spend a bit more for the Resuscitating Pill.

And so, three minutes passed, and still no one bid.

According to the auction’s rules, if there are no bids within three minutes, it would be considered a failed auction.

The ’Qi-Boosting Pill’ from the man in the black robe, Master Qin, failed to sell at all.

To this, Wang Xiuxin felt even more pained, meaning not only did he have to spend twenty-five billion, he had to pay the full thirty billion.

He was utterly numb.
