Chapter 1876: Chapter 850: Farewell Means Farewell
Because the scenario described by the storyteller is genuinely possible, it could actually happen.
Not to mention, most of the people present are martial artists; having one more card to play with your life is crucial, and everyone understands that without the storyteller needing to elaborate.
However, as a pill specifically for demon martial artists, the applicable range of the battle-tested explosive demon pill is significantly narrowed. Those who do not practice martial arts, are believers instead of demon martial artists, or don’t wish to risk their lives, or are awkward at combat are not the target consumers for this pill.
Therefore, the starting price for this pill marked by the storyteller turned out to be rather conservative.
“Five thousand taels to start, now… begin!”
However, even though the storyteller set a low starting price, there was a remarkably high response from the people below.
“Six thousand taels!”
“Seven thousand taels!”
“Ten thousand taels!”
“Twelve thousand taels!”
In the auction, any item related to saving one’s life is always popular and can fetch a high price.
Of course, this high price is not in the traditional sense but compared with items of the same level; such items always sell for a higher price.
“This explosive demon pill…”
Fang Yu is familiar, very familiar.
Isn’t this precisely the special pill Ding Hui gave him in Tianyuan Town that was used as one of the life-saving methods?
Unexpectedly, after so many months, Ding Hui managed to produce and sell it at the auction.
However…
“I remember this pill requires matching with bloodline; back then, you used my blood to make it. That pill up there…”
Fang Yu whispered.
Even though his voice was low, as soon as he spoke, Bi Ziyu in the room could hear it.
So, Fang Yu was actually doing Bi Ziyu a favor by alerting him.
Otherwise, if Bi Ziyu cluelessly went to buy the pill from Ding Hui again, he’d be ripped off badly.
The previous pills were at most priced a bit high, but their effect was unquestionable.
This pill is different; if it requires blood matching as it did for Fang Yu, then buying it would be useless for Bi Ziyu.
Bi Ziyu, hearing Fang Yu’s words, evidently realized something. He was about to ask Ding Hui to buy the pill, but the words got stuck in his throat. He didn’t ask and instead curiously looked at Ding Hui, waiting to hear his explanation.
And Ding Hui was already speaking at this point.
“My dear, you’re confused! Since I’m selling it, of course, it’s been improved.”
“The current explosive demon pill incorporates multiple demon bloodlines. I’ve consolidated the major categories. Although its effect is far inferior to the one tailored specifically for you, reducing the effect has broadened its adaptability.”
“Plus, before taking the pill, one must wait a night, allowing the demon martial artist to let their demonized blood drip onto the pill, for the pill to absorb, undergoing more profound penetration and self-adjustment, making this explosive demon pill mostly effective for demon martial artists.”
“Of course, if it truly doesn’t work, you can come to me for a refund.”
Ding Hui spread his hands, displaying a nonchalant attitude.
But everyone knew, if you risked your life taking the pill only to find it ineffective, you’d be basically dead.
Unless you miraculously survive, only then can you confront Ding Hui.
Although Ding Hui said this, the explosive demon pill passed the auction’s testing, and basically, there shouldn’t be any problem with it. It is capable of significantly enhancing demonization to a certain degree.
Fang Yu understood this because he trusted Ding Hui.
However, Bi Ziyu clearly lacked this trust; he hesitated to place an order and retracted it.
Ding Hui didn’t mind because the pill sold at a decent high price, bringing considerable funds back.
The following sequence included a string of cultivation technique auctions, and unexpectedly, their quality was somewhat decent, even tempting Fang Yu a little, but the prices were too high.
Prices in the tens of thousands of taels are rather excessive.
Bi Ziyu also joined the competition at this stage, evidently having his eye on something, but cultivation techniques have a broad audience.
Even if they aren’t suitable for oneself, they can be practiced by others or gifted, possessing a wide range of uses.
Bi Ziyu not only competed with VIPs of the same level on the second floor but also with buyers on the first floor who were betting all their wealth, facing immense pressure.
On the contrary, Fang Yu remained relaxed, choosing not to bid in this consecutive cultivation technique auction session.
“Phew—”
Bi Ziyu let out a breath; just now, he bought a profound Wood Realm-level cultivation technique at a high price.
This technique holds little practical use for himself.
Because at his age and with his abilities, being the family head, his power ascension is extremely slow, and cultivating too many techniques disperses his efforts, resulting in wasted energy on mediocre techniques.
The situation for Bi Ziyu, or for the original inhabitants, is completely different from Fang Yu.
They need to spend a considerable amount of energy learning and researching to master new martial arts, which requires many years, even decades.
Under such enormous costs, few will choose to change cultivation techniques unless for breakthroughs in new realms or compelled to learn divine skills. Otherwise, most follow the prescribed path.
