"What on earth is this thing?" Zhang nglong stared increasingly curiously at the so-called "Immortal Pill." After he had shouted out the astronomical price of 5 billion Euros, the person in VIP Room No. 4 imdiately called out a bid of 5.1 billion Euros.
"That is a Fighting Spirit Pill," Ye Yin said.
"I didn't study much, don't try to fool ," Zhang nglong rolled his eyes, "Do you think I haven't read 'Battle Through the Heavens'? That stuff is from a novel, you think I'm a greenhorn?"
Zhang nglong had read that novel back and forth, if not ten tis, then at least five or six tis. The Fighting Spirit Pill was a divine dicine that could help a Battle King breakthrough a level, and a Battle King was the type that could convert Dou Qi into horses, capable of flying in the sky and smashing a mountain with a palm.
"No way!" Zhang nglong hadn't yet shifted his thinking from that of an ordinary person's. Wasn't Ye Yin beside him exactly the kind of person who could smash a mountain with a palm?
Not only that, in Super God Academy, even Iron Man was captured to be a teacher. If there existed parallel worlds in this universe, and even the world of the Dou Qi Continent where Dou Qi was supre, then...
"Principal, more than 2500 years ago, one of your ancestors already visited that parallel world known as the Dou Qi Continent. He captured Yao Chen, the dicine Sage, and now he is a Pharmacology teacher at Super God Academy," Gou Dan's voice rang in Zhang nglong's ear.
"Damn it!" Zhang nglong was imdiately both shocked and frustrated, "Are you going to tell
that Xiao Yan has also been captured?"
"Yes, Teacher Xiao Yan is now the instructor for the Dou Qi cultivation class," Gou Dan said, "Your ancestor not only captured him but also took his wife. To be honest, I'm a bit unable to watch!"
"Enough, stop talking..." Zhang nglong felt his worldview collapse substantially. What kind of person was his ancestor?
...
"Mr. Zhang, you should have already inherited the most important treasure of your family. There are so things you probably know even more about than I do," Ye Yin told Zhang nglong.
"Yeah, I'm aware of that now," Zhang nglong said.
Gou Dan had already told Zhang nglong everything just now; the Immortal Child that Emma ntioned Xu Fu found overseas was actually Zhang nglong's ancestor. Those few Fighting Spirit Pills were also casually made by his ancestor as a gift to him.
Having learned the Alchemy Technique of dicine Sage Yao Chen at Super God Academy, a re few Fighting Spirit Pills really weren't much. As for the materials needed for alchemy, Yao Chen had planted a large dicinal garden in Super God Academy. There, with abundant spiritual energy, the growth rate of the herbs was unimaginable, almost turning the premium herbs into weeds. Even periodic clearing was necessary to prevent their overgrowth.
Of course, just like the other teachers, the current Yao Chen had also been locked away by Zhang nglong's father, and unlocking him would require a sufficient amount of Cred Points.
"Your ancestor cultivated many powers similar to our Ye Family," Ye Yin said, "Everyone has their own duties. Our Ye Family is responsible for the security of your family. Of course, there are also people specifically creating these elixirs to train us. This Fighting Spirit Pill really isn't of much value to us, seeing that besides manpower, it almost has no cost."
Zhang nglong could roughly imagine the vast outline of his family. So people were responsible for earning money for their family, so were enforcers, so managed logistics, and it seed his ancestor had taught the Alchemy Techniques learned from Super God Academy to his own forces.
Of course, the skills that Ye Yin possessed were probably indirectly from Super God Academy, most likely passed down to Ye Yin's ancestors by Zhang nglong's ancestor, and then from generation to generation within Ye Yin's family.
"6.2 billion!"
"6.8 billion!"
...
The price of that one Fighting Spirit Pill continued to soar. For Zhang nglong, its value might really be akin to a piece of Maltesers, but for the rest of the people in this world, it was truly a treasure of incalculable worth!
In this world, nearly every country and region has certain special second-world humans, who possess powers beyond ordinary humans and have longer lives. However, their advancent is not easy either. It is quite normal for several, or even dozens of years to pass by before they can move up one energy level.
A second-world human who surpasses level nine can change the international status of a country, but there are probably fewer than 15 countries in the world with such a powerful individual.
And this Fighting Spirit Pill can directly create a second-world human whose energy level surpasses nine. The allure of it can thus be imagined to be extrely strong.
Now, Zhang nglong finally understood why all those countries would send representatives to desperately bid for this final headliner auction item.
The tension in the auction room grew heavier and heavier. With the price reaching this point, it was no longer within the reach of ordinary wealthy individuals. Without the backing of a nation, no one could produce so much cash, except for soone abnormal like Zhang nglong.
The only ones still in contention were representatives of the twelve second-world human nations or powers that Ye Yin had ntioned before.
"Strange, with sothing so good, why would they put it up for auction?" Zhang nglong curiously wondered. If it were him, he probably would have consud the item the mont he got it, right?
"They wouldn't dare," said Ye Yin, "No matter how formidable they are, they're just an organization. In any case, they can't contend with a nation-state machine. But there's only one elixir, and there are more than a dozen countries that want it. No matter who they sell it to, they will offend the other countries."
"Hahaha, that's it," Zhang nglong realized. So that's why they decided to disclose this information and let them fight it out themselves. Not only does nobody get offended, but they'll also make a good profit. Indeed, that's a clever move.
"10 billion Euros!"
At that mont, soone from Private Room Number Three spoke up for the first ti. From the beginning of the auction up till now, the person in Private Room Number Three had been completely silent, making Zhang nglong think they were just there to watch.
"Ye Yin, which country does Private Room Number Three represent?"
"Mr. Zhang, they're from Huaxia."
"Oh?" Zhang nglong suddenly ca to his senses. Right, with representatives from so many other countries present, how could Huaxia's representatives not be there? It was just that he'd been dealing with Ma Yun, Ma Hua, and others, which instinctively made him forget about this.
"Ye Yin, does Huaxia really need this Fighting Spirit Pill?"
"Yes," Ye Yin said, "Arica and Huaxia have the most second-world humans. Huaxia's mainly co from the ancient cultivation system, what you call ancient martial arts. These individuals are known as Ancient Martial Artists, and Huaxia has five who have surpassed level nine. There are also three Natural Awakeners who have surpassed level nine."
"Awakeners?"
"You can understand them as Psychics."
"So that makes a total of eight people."
"Over in Arica, all of them are uniformly Mutants. However, they've given themselves a na: Superhumans. There are also eight Superhumans who have surpassed level nine. As for England, which is third in line, they have only five."
"So for both Huaxia and Arica, this Fighting Spirit Pill is a key factor in deciding who will be the world's number one superpower."
"You could say that," Ye Yin replied, "Of course, this excludes the people under Mr. Zhang's influence."
"Since that's the case," said Zhang nglong with a mischievous smile, "I originally wasn't interested, but hearing you say this, I can't let others take away the Fighting Spirit Pill!"
