Chapter 649
Chapter 649 The stage was located right before them, and there were a few empty seats on stage Once they took their seats, Wilbur glanced around and noticed a few people, including I Amon, staring at them.
There were four tables at the front. Leonard I occupied one, Amon occupied another, and the other two belonged to the other members of the Eldor Four. I I Leonard glanced over and scoffed.
Wilbur chuckled, knowing that something dramatic was bound to happen.
Guests slowly began to arrive and were all guided to their respective seats.
Apart from the locals, there were pharmaceutical giants from all around the country present. Businessmen whose worth was below a billion would not even be able to participate in this auction, as a deposit of 100 million needed to be submitted before
entering the hall.
According to Leonard, the deposit was a symbol of power and an assurance that those who participated in the bidding could actually pay afterward. If they bid for anything below 100 million, the cost would be deducted and the remaining amount would be returned; if the item cost over 100 million, the buyer would need to top up.
At nine, a host went onto the stage and spoke into a microphone, "Everyone, let us all welcome the chairman of Eldor City I Traditional Herb Association, Mister Bruce Ford." The hall broke into a round of applause.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Everyone knew that Bruce was a peak I Ambience level cultivator and the person who created such a hub for the herb and medicine trade.
He was unmatched financially and even the Eldor Four,had to be respectful toward him.
A man in his fifties dressed in a green robe stepped out of the room divider, followed by
two elderly men in their eighties.
The man in the green robe was Bruce. He smiled and waved at the guests, before gesturing to them to take their seats. He then took the microphone and said, "I believe that everyone is here for rare herbs, and you should all know the rules. I won't waste your time going on and on but let me say this one thing: the highlight of tonight's auction will be a fleeceflower that has grown for thirty thousand years." Everyone was instantly thrilled.
A fleeceflower that grew for ten thousand years would cost a fortune and no one could imagine just how much it would cost to purchase one that grew for thirty thousand years.
Leonard was moved and became excited.
Wilbur, too, was stunned. An herb that grew for thirty thousand years would be considered an elixir, which would make an excellent sacrifice.
It seemed as though this trip had been worth it j EE ——
after all.
Bruce signaled others to remain quiet and continued, "Apart from that, the alchemist, Mister Colter Finnegan, has provided ten Spiritual Pill that could strengthen spiritual energy in an instant temporarily. For cultivators who are at the Aura level, your power will increase by multiple folds. These pills are definitely out of this world." The crowd erupted into exclaims and sighs, while Leonard could barely contain his excitement.
Wilbur turned to him and asked, "Is this Mister Finnegan famous or something? Why is everyone so excited?" "What do you know?" Leonard said in contempt. "Mister Finnegan is a master of alchemy here in Eldor City. He's over a hundred years old and his skills are unmatched. It's been over a decade since he showed himself, so you are in for a treat tonight." "Really? It's just a Spiritual Pill thought." Wilbur
smiled.
Leonard froze and shot him a contemptuous look. "Do you even know what value Spiritual Pill holds for cultivators?" "I can get you a whole bucket of it so long as you provide me with the ingredients," Wilbur said. According to what he remembered, Spiritual Pills were the simplest type of alchemical pill, which meant they could be easily produced.
Just then, Catelyn interfered. "Buddy, you might want to hold your tongue. This is no place for you to bluff." At the same time, an elderly man behind Bruce shot Wilbur a cold glare. "You seem to have doubts about the Spiritual Pill, don't you?" "Look at what you've done," Catelyn complained.
