Chapter 1178: Chapter 1178: A Lucrative Business
With the "Grade One Spirit Sword" auctioned off to Justin Campbell representing the Campbell Family for the sky-high price of three hundred thousand Top-grade Original Stones, the atmosphere in the Campbell Family auction venue also reached its apex.
"There’s still the ’grand finale’!"
"The last auction item, since it has been arranged by steward Justin for the final auction, must also be extraordinary."
"Truly sothing to look forward to."
...
In the Campbell Family auction venue, all eyes fell on Justin, waiting for the last auction item to appear.
And Justin did not disappoint the crowd. After stowing away the Grade One Spirit Sword, he took out a pill bottle, one that looked no more ordinary than any other Pill dicine bottle.
"Pill dicine?"
Seeing the pill bottle, many felt disappointed.
Pill dicine.
Even if it was a ’Grade One Pill dicine,’ in terms of value, it would not be as valuable as a Grade One spirit weapon.
Of course, that’s just an ordinary ’Grade One Pill dicine.’
"I believe that the Pill dicine placed last for auction by steward Justin will definitely not be an ordinary one."
So spoke thus, their faces filled with anticipation as they looked towards Justin.
Their words gained the agreent of many.
"Ladies and gentlen, inside this Pill dicine bottle in my hand, there is a pill... This pill is also the last auction item for our Campbell Family auction house today! It is also the final showstopper."
Justin stood on the auction stage, shaking the Pill dicine bottle in his hand as he addressed the crowd.
A single pill?
Justin’s words shocked many.
You could say a bottle of decently pure Pill dicine being the final ’showstopper’ is acceptable, but this re single pill seed a bit miserly.
This was the thought in the minds of most people.
However, they quickly changed their minds.
Simply because Justin introduced that pill, to be precise, the ’Grade One Return-Life Pill.’
"A ’Grade One Return-Life Pill’ with ’91%’ purity? Then its potency... wouldn’t it be several tis, perhaps even more, than that of an ordinary Grade One Return-Life Pill?"
After a mont of dead silence, many exclaid in shock.
"Steward Justin... I wonder if you could show us the Grade One Return-Life Pill, so this old man could have a look?"
In the VIP area, an elderly man wearing a mask stood up.
As everyone’s gazes, including Justin’s, fell upon him, he raised his hand and a wisp of purple fla with silver edges appeared, the signature of a ’Grade Two red fla.’
This indicated that the old man was a ’Grade Two alchemist.’
His request arose from his disbelief in the existence of a Grade One Pill dicine with ’91%’ purity, and he wished to personally verify it.
Although the reputation of Campbell Family auction venue had always been very good, never having deceived anyone, a ’Grade One Pill dicine’ with ’91%’ purity was simply too exaggerated, making it hard for him to believe.
"Of course, you can."
Justin nodded, took out the Grade One Return-Life Pill from the bottle, and presented it in front of the masked old man who had ascended the auction stage like a gust of wind.
The masked old man looked at the Grade One Return-Life Pill.
After a mont, his exposed pair of eyes shifted from curiosity to surprise, and finally, they were filled with horror.
"It really is a ’91%’ pure Grade One Return-Life Pill!"
Soon, the masked old man’s breathing beca extrely rapid and he couldn’t help exclaiming out loud, his voice filled with inexplicable astonishnt.
Hearing the masked old man’s confirmation, the Campbell Family auction venue was once again abuzz.
If the Grade One Spirit Sword that amplified ’90%’ of one’s power was just for personal use, most would not be willing to pay an exaggerated price for it.
But this ’91%’ pure Grade One Return-Life Pill was enough to make them go all out to compete for it!
The Grade One Return-Life Pill, being a healing Pill dicine, had a wide range of uses.
A ’91%’ pure Grade One Return-Life Pill, compared to an ordinary one, its potency was untold tis stronger, and although it hadn’t reached the stage of ’reviving the dead and regenerating bones,’ it was not far off.
Such a Pill dicine, at a critical mont, could be life-saving, how could it not excite them?
One’s life is only one; once gone, it’s gone.
For their own life, what harm would there be in spending all their fortunes?
Before anyone knew it, the Campbell Family auction venue fell silent, with only the sounds of heavy breathing remaining, making the atmosphere turn sowhat solemn.
At this mont, aside from Wyatt Barnes and Winnie Roro, everyone’s gaze in the venue fell on the Grade One Return-Life Pill in Justin’s hand without exception.
"Winnie, how much do you think the Grade One Return-Life Pill I consigned will sell for?"
Wyatt turned to Winnie beside him and asked with a smile.
"It won’t be less than that sword just now,"
Winnie replied.
Wyatt let out a wry smile; wasn’t that just stating the obvious?
anwhile, the bidding for the Grade One Return-Life Pill he had consigned also officially began.
"Ladies and gentlen, the ’91%’ pure Grade One Return-Life Pill in my hand represents sothing extraordinary, I’m sure I don’t need to explain its significance any further... With that, let the bidding begin! The starting bid is ten thousand Top-grade Original Stones."
Justin announced from the auction stage in a loud voice.
"One hundred thousand Top-grade Original Stones!"
As soon as Justin finished speaking, soone in the VIP area took the lead in bidding.
In an instant, people in the ordinary area shook their heads, knowing that they no longer had the opportunity to make a bid.
"Two hundred thousand Top-grade Original Stones!"
Very soon, a second person in the VIP area made their bid.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand top-grade original stones!"
The third bidder followed without any hesitation.
"It seems like we’re about to break the price of that ’Grade One spirit sword’."
A smile erged on Wyatt Barnes’s face.
If it were said that the materials required to refine a Grade One spirit sword were only worth one hundred top-grade original stones.
Then.
The materials required to refine a cauldron of ten Grade One Return-Life Pills at most would be worth a few tens of top-grade original stones.
And now, a Pill dicine that could be refined from materials costing only a few top-grade original stones could sell for the high price of hundreds of thousands of top-grade original stones—it was a huge profit indeed!
"Four hundred thousand top-grade original stones!"
A familiar voice ca again, it was Justin Campbell from the Campbell Family bidding for Wyatt’s consigned ’Grade One Return-Life Pill’ on the auction stage, starting at four hundred thousand top-grade original stones.
"Four hundred and fifty thousand top-grade original stones!"
Soone imdiately followed with another bid.
"Five hundred thousand!"
Justin Campbell bid again, finally suppressing the crowd and securing the final victory, auctioning off that ’Grade One Return-Life Pill’ in his own hands.
"What a pity... The top-grade original stones I have on
are limited, otherwise, I would have been determined to get that Grade One Return-Life Pill!"
Inside the VIP area, many people shook their heads and sighed.
"Eight hundred thousand top-grade original stones!"
Wyatt laughed, a radiant smile.
In his view, these top-grade original stones ca too easily.
Of course, he also knew that all of this was because the two items he presented were seen as once-in-a-lifeti by others.
As the saying goes, ’rarity is what makes sothing precious.’ That’s exactly it.
If he took out ten or twenty such ’Grade One spirit swords,’ or even dozens or hundreds of such ’Grade One Return-Life Pills,’ they would not be so valuable.
"Today’s auction held by our Campbell Family auction house has co to a successful conclusion, thank you all for attending!"
On the auction stage, Jero Campbell greeted everyone with a smile.
For a mont, many people left their seats, preparing to leave.
"Wait!"
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out, not very loud, yet like a clap of thunder, making everyone including Jero Campbell involuntarily startle and look toward the direction of the voice.
"It’s him!"
Seeing this person, a hint of wariness appeared in everyone’s eyes.
The person they were looking at was none other than ’Wyatt Barnes’.
"Sir, do you have any other business?"
Facing Wyatt, Jero Campbell did not dare to be negligent and asked with respect.
"Just now... The two items I consigned for auction in your Campbell Family auction house have sold for a total of eight hundred thousand top-grade original stones. Now, shouldn’t you give
those eight hundred thousand top-grade original stones?"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Wyatt spoke to Jero Campbell.
Whoosh!
As Wyatt’s words fell, they caused an uproar like a stone causing ripples in a pond, shocking all those present.
"That... That sword and that Grade One Return-Life Pill, were they consigned by him?"
"No wonder he called that sword a ’broken sword’ and showed no interest in that Grade One Return-Life Pill... It turns out, both auction items were his own consignnt."
...
For a mont, the people present suddenly realized why this ’nace’ didn’t bid with them for those two rare treasures that were sought after but hard to co by.
It turned out, those two treasures were the very ones he had consigned!
"Sir, according to the rules of our Campbell Family auction house, the auction proceeds are given to the consignor after the end of the auction."
Jero Campbell was sowhat speechless about Wyatt openly admitting that the two auctioned items were his consignnt.
Of course, despite feeling speechless, he still patiently explained, "Furthermore, I don’t have that many top-grade original stones on , I need to go back to our Campbell Family residence to fetch them."
"What if you go back to your Campbell Family residence and then default on the paynt?"
Wyatt frowned and asked.
"Please rest assured, sir, our family never does anything that would destroy our reputation."
Jero Campbell said with a wry smile.
"Then you’d better hurry back to that Campbell Family residence of yours to fetch the stones... I will wait here for you. Additionally, could everyone else please stay for a mont and witness this for ?"
Wyatt furrowed his brows, his gaze then turned to everyone present, "After I receive those eight hundred thousand top-grade original stones... I will tell everyone the origin of the ’Grade One spirit sword’ and ’Grade One Return-Life Pill’ that I put up for consignnt."
Whoosh!
As Wyatt’s words were spoken, they unexpectedly stirred up another sensation.
The most unforgettable thing for those present today was undoubtedly the Grade One spirit sword auctioned by the Campbell family that augnted ’ninety percent’ of one’s strength, and that ’ninety-one percent’ pure Grade One Return-Life Pill.
Among them, many even felt that missing out on that sword and pill today would beco a lifelong regret.
And now, the person who consigned that sword and pill said he would disclose their origins.
How could they not be shocked?
How could they not be thrilled?
"Manager Jero Campbell, you should hurry back to the Campbell Family residence to get the top-grade original stones!"
For a while, many people urged Jero Campbell.
