However, refining the Rejuvenation Pill was no easy task. Even if so alchemists managed to produce it, they often kept it for personal use, rarely offering it for sale. The ingredients and spiritual plants required for the Rejuvenation Pill were highly valuable. Consequently, the Rejuvenation Pills circulating in the market were scarce, and their worth was self-evident.
Nonetheless, the Ye family, being a lineage of alchemists, possessing the ability to provide Rejuvenation Pills was deed reasonable.
Ye Wanwan shot a triumphant glance in the direction of Ye Lengan.
“Hmph, did they truly believe that relying on the Huangfu family as a backer would secure them the Shennong Cauldron? Our Ye family also boasts a profound background, and not everyone can produce a Rejuvenation Pill. The ultimate victor is still uncertain!” sneered Ye Wanwan.
Others present began to envy and resent the mysterious seller behind the Shennong Cauldron. While it was just an alchemy furnace, it had fetched the highest bid in the entire auction. To secure it, the Ye family’s patriarch had even offered a Rejuvenation Pill.
The Rejuvenation Pill! A life-saving elixir! They coveted it too!
Soon, the auctioneer returned, nodding respectfully to Ye Hongxuan. “Master
Ye, the other party has agreed to your terms. If you can produce the
Rejuvenation Pill and 1.2 billion Spirit Coins, the Shennong Cauldron is yours.”
In fact, not only did the seller agree, but the response was almost imdiate. No surprise, given the Rejuvenation Pill’s desirability – a lifesaver coveted by most in the Hidden World. The joy on Ye Hongxuan and Ye Wanwan’s faces was unmistakable.
Ye Wanwan provocatively eyed Ye Lengan again.
Before the auctioneer could speak further, Ye Lengan intervened. “Wait a mont.” She raised her hand, halting the auctioneer. “So, did the seller agree to offer the Shennong Cauldron to anyone providing 1.2 billion Spirit Coins and a Rejuvenation Pill, or did the seller only agree to accept the offer of the Ye family?”
Hearing Ye Leng’an’s question, the auctioneer’s eyebrows twitched, sensing a hidden aning. “Miss Ye, do you an…”
Ye Hongxuan’s initial ease vanished, replaced by wariness and unease as he looked at Ye Lengan. Simultaneously, a tinge of displeasure lingered in his gaze.
Yet, a trace of hope lingered in his heart: the other party might not possess the Rejuvenation Pill. Not all alchemists could craft it.
The Rejuvenation Pill, a high-grade elixir, required advanced alchemy skills, typically acquired over centuries of practice. Most high-level alchemists were close to a millennium in age. Ye Hongxuan perceived that Ye An t an hadn’t used any youth-maintaining elixirs. Her true age seed young, perhaps close to Wanwan’s. Hence, even knowing she was an alchemist, he didn’t take her seriously.
However, her current actions hinted at her possession of the Rejuvenation Pill.
Ignoring the reactions around her, Ye Lengan continued, “l can also afford 1.2 billion Spirit Coins and a Rejuvenation Pill! So, whom do you intend to give the pill to?”
All eyes focused on Ye Lengan. Simultaneously, a sense of frustration rippled through the crowd. The Rejuvenation Pill – how could they casually offer it? It wasn’t as simple as it sounded! People were indeed different. They also craved the Rejuvenation Pill, lanting their lack of a Shennong Cauldron to attract alchemists.
“Miss Ye, this is quite despicable!” Ye An’an couldn’t hold back, adding, “We proposed this first. Now, you want to compete with us. Isn’t that unethical?”
“If you no longer want your tongue, I wouldn’t mind helping you get rid of it,” chid in Huangfu Ruiling coldly. Simultaneously, his icy gaze fixed upon Ye Wanwan.
Instantly, Ye Wanwan felt like she had entered an icy realm, her entire being consud by a bone-chilling cold, devoid of warmth. It seed her limbs were on the verge of freezing, rendering her immobile. This ti, she felt as vulnerable as she did during the earlier incident in the restaurant.
Now, she fully grasped that the two individuals before her were no ordinary people – they were the head of the Huangfu family and his fiancée. People she couldn’t afford to offend.
“Master Huangfu, my daughter didn’t an any harm,” Ye Hongxuan swiftly stepped forward, blocking Huangfu Ruilings line of sight, and apologized. “She’s young and inexperienced in speech. 1 implore your magnanimity, please don’t hold it against her this ti.”
Huangfu Ruilings gaze remained on Ye Hongxuan, devoid of warmth, inducing a sense of fear. At this mont, Ye Hongxuan keenly felt the power Huangfu Ruiling wielded – a power that seed to determine life and death.
Previously, he knew that the Huangfu family’s patriarch was formidable. Now, he gained a clearer understanding of the extent of Huangfu Ruilings strength.
Just as Ye Hongxuan thought he couldn’t endure any longer, Huangfu Ruiling finally withdrew his gaze.
Ye Hongxuan sighed in relief, feeling his legs turn weak.
“Master Ye, Miss Ye.” Ye Lengan looked at them with a smile. “l believe you may have overlooked a fact. This is an auction; it’s not about who cos first but who bids the highest. If you can afford it, so can 1. Let’s compete fairly, shall we?”
Having spoken, Ye Lengan turned around. Before Ye Hongxuan could respond, she glanced at the auctioneer again. “I’m willing to add another Rejuvenation Pill.. I believe the seller behind the Shennong Cauldron should find my offer more satisfying!’
