The lights in the hall dimmed. The host walked up the stage, and everyone hushed. The auction has officially begun.
Without further ado, the host briefed the rules and immediately announced the commencement of the auction.
The first item auctioned was a Black Level martial arts manual, which was considered a high-grade item. A few families and individuals seated in the back raised their bid cards and bid on the item. They finally sold it for two million yuan.
The following items were auctioned off one by one, and the prices of the subsequent items kept rising. Soon after, more than a dozen items had been auctioned.
Fade did not bid for any of the items. However, the Luo family behind him bid several times during the auction and successfully bought two martial arts manuals. They were so overjoyed that they kept laughing throughout the auction.
Sandra and Audrea, on the other hand, had been whispering behind Fade's back.
"He sits in the VIP seat, but he didn't bid at all.
What is he doing here? Watching a show?"
"Poor guy. I bet he doesn't have money to bid for the items."
"That's true. The lowest reserve price of the items is at least a million yuan, and the price can easily go over a million. So it's normal that he can't afford it."
Ignoring their gossip, Fade waited patiently for the following item. The next item was the nourishing pill that Encyclo Hall would auction on his behalf. It was now known as the Longevity Pill, according to the auction list.
Many guests were also looking forward to seeing the next item like Fade. After all, no matter whether they were rich men or martial artists, none of them would say no to longevity.
As everyone whispered and stared at the stage expectantly, Olaric, dressed in a long robe, appeared and announced in a clear voice, "The next auction item is rather unique, so let me introduce it to you."
"This is Longevity Pill. Just as its name implies, it has the effect of extending one's lifespan. At the same time, it may also cure various minor ailments. According to our estimation, if you take three bottles of the pill continuously for 3 months, it might extend your lifespan by two to three years"
The crowd buzzed in excitement as they heard about the pill's miraculous effect, and they couldn't stop discussing it.
"Prolong one's lifespan by two to three years? That's too impressive. I want to buy it."
"But, what kind of pill has this effect? It seems too exaggerated! Could it be fake?"
"It's fake! Are you kidding me? This is Encyclo Hall, and the appraiser is Olaric. Do you know what this means?"
"I believe Encyclo Hall won't make such a mistake, but it still sounds too far-fetched to me."
"No matter what, this kind of pill is extremely rare, and I'm going to buy it."
In the midst of the crowd's heated discussion, the Luo family also began to talk about it among themselves.
"Longevity Pill that extends one's lifespan. It is what our Old Master needs the most, so we must bid for it!"
"Yes, this is a rare opportunity."
"That's right. The quality of Encyclo Hall's items is guaranteed. There won't be any mistakes. We must bid later!"
Almost everyone from the Luo family showed interest in the Longevity Pill.
Everyone, except for Gentro. He frowned while he thought of something and asked, "The function of this Longevity Pill is similar to that of Mr. Chen's nourishing pill, isn't it?"
At the mention of Fade, everyone in the Luo family suddenly turned to look at him, their faces hostile.
"Gentro, don't mention the person who has fallen out with our family."
