Chapter 246: Chapter 246: A Strong Origin Pill
"It should be starting soon."
Wyatt Barnes raised his eyebrows, as if he had sensed sothing.
At that mont, through the windows of the private room, he could vaguely see several people entering the hall and taking their seats.
As ti passed...
The crowd beca increasingly larger.
Soon, the entire hall was fully seated, filled with countless bodies.
"Each seat in the hall costs 1,000 USD per person... This ’Marston Auction House’ can make a pretty penny just from the entrance fees."
Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but be surprised.
And with more people, voices naturally multiplied.
Soon, Wyatt Barnes saw an old man slowly take the stage...
He knew that the auction was about to begin.
Indeed.
"Ladies and Gentlen, welco to our ’Marston Auction House’. I assure you, you will not feel this day has been wasted..."
After the old man took the stage, he began with a series of pointless chatter.
Raving about how good the items up for auction at the ’Marston Auction House’ would be that day.
Like a common peddler’s self-praise, nothing more than that.
"Okay, I see that all of you seem eager, let’s bring out our first auction item!"
The old man’s voice abruptly broke the silence.
Imdiately, among the sleepy crowd in the hall, a shock went through them, many regaining their focus.
A young woman, holding a plate covered with red cloth, walked onto the auction stage.
As the young woman removed the red cloth, what appeared before everyone was a pill dicine bottle.
The old man picked up the pill dicine bottle, took a look around the hall, and announced, "Ladies and gentlen, inside this pill bottle are ten ’Strong Origin Pills’!"
Strong Origin Pills are Pill dicines used by martial artists in the Original Pill Realm to enhance their cultivation speed.
However, Strong Origin Pills are readily available in pharmacies outside.
Suddenly, many people lost their enthusiasm.
So even scoffed, "Since when has the Marston Auction House fallen to this extent, that they actually put sothing so common up for auction... Strong Origin Pills are sold for 10,000 dollars each in any pharmacy, with a clear marked price!"
"Exactly, such a thing shouldn’t be auctioned at all, right?"
"Hurry up and switch to the next auction item!"
...
A buzz of voices rose in the hall.
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
Facing the commotion, the old man remained composed, appearing as if he knew that this would happen.
As the old man raised his hand, the hall quieted down.
"Do you think our Marston Auction House would auction ordinary ’Strong Origin Pills’?"
The old man’s eyes narrowed, a faint smile on his lips, "As everyone knows, the average alchemist’s pill dicine usually has a purity of just over sixty percent. If the purity can reach sixty-five percent, it’s considered extrely rare. However, the Strong Origin Pill in my hand has a purity of seventy-five percent! Do you understand what that ans?!"
"A Strong Origin Pill with seventy-five percent purity will enhance cultivation speed by twice as much as an ordinary Strong Origin Pill when consud! If it’s taken by Original Pill Realm martial artists who are at a bottleneck and struggling to break through, it could potentially even lead to a direct breakthrough!"
As predicted, the old man’s words caused an uproar in the hall.
"A Strong Origin Pill with seventy-five percent purity?"
"Is that really true?"
"Which alchemist is so impressive that they could concoct such a high purity Strong Origin Pill!"
...
Many people in the hall were skeptical.
In their minds, a pill dicine with over seventy percent purity already stood as an existence in ’legend’...
A pill dicine with a purity of seventy-five percent was almost identical to the ’mythical’ pill dicine with eighty percent purity.
Seeing this, the old man continued, "Ladies and Gentlen, these ten Strong Origin Pills are personally certified by our Marston Clan’s esteed ’Mr. Orion Cruz’, so there’s no need to worry about whether the pill dicine’s purity aligns with my words... Among the ten Strong Origin Pills, seven have a purity of seventy-five percent, while three nearly reach seventy-six percent."
"And, the credibility of our Marston Clan is well-docunted!"
Upon hearing the old man’s words, several people in the hall nodded agreent.
Indeed, the Marston Clan had never failed their credibility in auctions.
"Since it was verified by Mr. Orion Cruz, then there’s certainly no issue."
"Right, Mr. Orion Cruz is the only ’seventh-grade Alchemist’ in Blackwind City. His judgent definitely won’t be wrong!"
"Old man Marston, tell us the starting bid quickly!"
...
People in the hall hurriedly urged the old man to declare the ’starting bid’.
Inside the private room.
A hint of surprise appeared on Wyatt Barnes’ face.
Seventy-five percent purity?
He didn’t expect that in this border region between the Green Forest Royal Country and Crimson Heaven Kingdom, there would be such high-purity pill dicine.
Seventy-five percent purity...
It suggests that the alchemist who concocted these Strong Origin Pills was an experienced and extraordinarily talented one.
Of course, Wyatt Barnes wasn’t impressed by this level of purity.
Forget about seventy-five percent purity, even ninety percent purity would be nothing for him.
If he was earnest about concocting, even a pill with ninety-nine percent purity could possibly be concocted...
The cultivation and skills of the Reincarnation Martial Emperor were not a joke.
"Proudly auctioning a pill with only seventy-five percent purity?"
Jovie Lee humd lowly, rembering the Strong Origin Pill refined by her man had a purity over 90%...
In her opinion, a Strong Origin Pill with only 75% purity compared to the one her man created was just garbage!
But even if it was garbage, the auction price still shocked Jovie.
As the old man stated the starting bid, ten Strong Origin Pills with a purity of 75% were surprisingly bid up to an astronomical price of $300,000.
Moreover, the bidding was still continuing.
"$400,000!"
"$500,000!"
...
Hearing the calls for bids in the hall, Jovie mumbled in a daze, "They must be crazy!"
Wyatt Barnes chuckled, he actually found it understandable.
A Strong Origin Pill with a purity of 75% could indeed help a martial practitioner in the Original Pill Realm breakthrough the last bottleneck to smoothly enter the next level, to so extent.
Of course, this only applied to martial artists in the first and second layers of the Original Pill Realm.
After all, it was just a Strong Origin Pill with 75% purity.
"$1,000,000!"
Finally, with a deep voice from a private room on the second floor, a bottle of Strong Origin Pills with 75% purity was won with his bid.
"The guest in Box 5 has won this bottle of Strong Origin Pills with 75% purity!" The old man on the auction stage announced.
Then, another young woman ca onto the platform with a tray. The next auction item was an eighth-grade spiritual tool with an amplification of ’18%’.
For this auction item, Wyatt Barnes and his companions showed no interest.
"Scoundrel, those ten Strong Origin Pills with only 75% purity actually sold for a million USD... aren’t the Strong Origin Pills you created even more valuable?" Jovie recovered from her trance, looked at Wyatt Barnes, her eyes glinting with intrigue.
"That’s natural," Wyatt Barnes responded with a smile.
"A Strong Origin Pill with 75% purity is worth a hundred thousand USD each... I don’t know how much the Strong Origin pills you made, with over 90% purity, can sell for," Jovie asked curiously, seeming eager to know the answer.
Wyatt Barnes saw through Jovie’s thoughts, smiled and shook his head, "Jovie, if you really want to know, then I’ll have one of the Strong Origin Pills with the lowest purity that I’ve refined be put up for auction at the Marston Auction House... they might be interested."
Upon hearing this, Jovie’s eyes lit up, and Keer on the side also looked curious.
"Fill Bear, call the boy outside in," Wyatt Barnes ordered Fill Bear.
Quickly, the boy ca in, "Guest, how may I assist you?"
Wyatt raised his hand and a bottle of Pill dicine appeared. He handed it to the boy, "There’s a pill in it. I intend to consign it to your auction house...ask your manager to arrange it."
The boy took the bottle without asking anything further.
He knew what to ask and what not to.
After the boy left, Wyatt turned his eyes back to the auction stage to see that an eighth-grade spiritual tool had just been sold.
"Manager!"
After the boy received the bottle of character dicine from Wyatt, he went to find his manager, Colten Marston.
"Hm?"
Colten’s eyes fell on the boy’s hand and asked, "Did a guest want to consign sothing?"
"Yes, manager, it’s the young guest," the boy replied respectfully.
"The young guest? The one in the purple robe?" Colten curiously asked.
"Yes," the boy nodded.
Colten took the bottle of Pill dicine and opened it to see it was a ’Strong Origin Pill’. He couldn’t help but frown, "What does the guest an? A Strong Origin Pill? And there’s only one?"
In the end, he did not directly return the ’Strong Origin Pill’, but took it to the auction house’s backstage.
"Lord Orion Cruz!"
Soon, Colten found the only seven-star alchemist in the Marston Clan, Orion Cruz.
Whenever the Marston Auction House held an auction, Orion would always be there to preside over it.
"Hm?"
Orion, an elderly man past his pri, saw Colten arriving and asked with suspicion, "Manager Colten, what is it?"
Colten passed over the bottle from his hand, "Mr. Orion Cruz, this is sothing a guest wants to consign to our auction house...could you take a look and see if there’s sothing unique about it?"
"What is this?" Orion asked curiously.
"Strong Origin Pill," Colten replied with a bitter smile.
A Strong Origin Pill?
Orion was taken aback, then frowned, "Isn’t this a joke? Who is the guest that consigned this auction item? Unless it’s a Strong Origin Pill with a purity above 70%, it has no value in bidding."
"Mr. Orion Cruz, the guest who consigned this Strong Origin Pill seems to have an extraordinary background, so I didn’t return it to him straight away. Please help
take a look first. If it truly isn’t feasible, I’ll give it back to him," Colten said with a bit of difficulty.
Orion nodded, opened the Pill dicine bottle, and poured out the dicine inside.
"One pill?"
Seeing that there was only one Strong Origin Pill, Orion froze, his face reddening soon after, "Is that guest intentionally mocking our Marston Auction House? One Strong Origin Pill... does he think his Strong Origin Pill is over 80% purity?"
