Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times
Chapter 127 Trouble
The woman behind the screen swallowed the pill and waited quietly for its effects.
The people outside, hidden behind the screen, all looked on with curiosity.
The youngest disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect's leader was disfigured by poison from a small sect. Even after the sect was wiped out, no cure could be found. So, for many years, they have been searching for medical treatment without success.
Zhuge Zhan, standing on the stage, was also very nervous. Although he declared that if there were any problems with the pill, it would not be their responsibility, the person who bought the pill was from the Heavenly Sword Sect. If there were any problems, they could not completely absolve themselves of responsibility.
Time passed slowly, and everyone was whispering among themselves, discussing whether the medicine was effective or not.
At this moment, there was finally movement inside the screen.
A few soft gasps were heard, and soon the woman slowly walked out from behind the screen. When her face was revealed to everyone, they couldn't help but gasp.
At this moment, her face was as smooth as silk, delicate and flawless, without a single blemish; she was a complete beauty.
She came out excitedly and said, "This elixir is real! I've actually regained my appearance!"
"Is...is this real?" Someone rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
Now even a fool knows this youth-preserving pill is real. Fu Jinhua slammed her fist on the table in frustration.
Zhuge Zhan's heart finally settled down. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a happy smile, "Please be quiet, everyone, please be quiet..."
However, everyone was still in shock and completely ignored him.
Having no other choice, Zhuge Zhan could only amplify his voice with his internal energy, "We still have a Youth Preservation Pill."
Instantly, the room fell silent, and everyone stared at Zhuge Zhan with eager, expectant eyes, especially all the women present.
Zhuge Zhan was very satisfied with the current effect. He said, "Now everyone knows whether the Youth Preservation Pill is real or fake. To be honest, I was very worried just now, but everyone has seen the effect, so you can rest assured now."
One woman said urgently, "You said there's one left? Hurry up and take it out, I'll buy it no matter the price!"
"Hmph! You think you can just buy it whenever you want? Do you expect me to agree?" another woman retorted.
Seeing the two arguing fiercely, Zhuge Zhan stretched out his hands and pressed them down, saying, "This is the last Youth Preservation Pill, and it's not cheap!"
"Stop talking nonsense and just name your price!" Everyone was getting impatient.
With a broad smile, Zhuge Zhan unveiled the red cloth: "The starting bid is 80 million, and each bid must be at least one million higher."
"One hundred million!"
"One hundred and twenty million!"
"One hundred and fifty million!"
Seeing the women's frenzied bidding, Ye Yu sighed inwardly, "Women's money has always been the easiest to earn since ancient times!"
. . . . . .
The price continued to climb, and soon reached 500 million.
This price was the highest bid of the day, and Fu Jinhua, her eyes gleaming with greed, shouted, "Six hundred million!"
Ye Yu guessed that the price was nearing its limit. Once the gavel fell, the auction would end, and then a series of troubles would follow.
So Ye Yu told Fu Jinhua that she had to leave first, and Fu Jinhua just nodded perfunctorily, it was unclear whether she had taken it to heart.
She could only give a few words to the waiter outside the screen, asking him to tell Fu Jinhua that she was leaving first after the auction, and then she turned and walked upstairs.
In the same room on the second floor, the thin old man and the fat man were all smiles. The fat man poured Ye Yu a cup of tea and said very politely, "Do you have any other pills that you want to auction?"
Ye Yu knew what the two were up to, and said, "My friend does have some pills that are comparable to the Youth Preservation Pill, but it will take some time to get them."
The thin old man immediately replied, "This is no problem. As long as you cooperate with us, we will give you the best price in the future."
Ye Yu thought to herself: Still cooperating? She'll disappear immediately after the auction ends.
However, she still had several hundred million in money from the auction. She wanted to wait until after the auction to settle accounts with them, which gave Taiyi Sect and others an opportunity to take advantage of her.
"Eight hundred million!" The price at the auction had already soared to eight hundred million.
Ye Yu said to the two of them, "Your association must have many precious medicinal herbs, right? How about this, you convert the amount of money I left with your association into the corresponding amount of herbs for me. I'll take them back and have my friend refine them into pills, and then bring them back to your association to sell. How about that? It's a win-win situation."
“That’s excellent.” The skinny man and the fat man exchanged a glance and said in unison.
Ye Yu immediately wrote down a list of the necessary medicinal herbs and handed it to the two men, asking them to help her find the corresponding herbs and instructing them to prepare them as soon as possible.
Time passed slowly, and finally, the fat man, covered in sweat, handed a large bag of medicinal herbs to Ye Yu.
Meanwhile, the auction downstairs ultimately resulted in a sale for one billion.
The victor, Fu Jinhua, looked triumphantly at the youth-preserving pill in her hand, as if she could already see herself still looking beautiful in her eighties or nineties.
Meanwhile, Ye Yu, carrying a package full of precious herbs, shook off the people sent by the auction house to follow her, put the package into her storage ring, cast an invisibility spell, and quietly left the auction house...
No sooner had Ye Yu left than people began to emerge from the auction house one after another.
Several groups of people were searching for her, including those from auction houses, Taiyi Sect, and Deyi Valley.
Ye Yu continued to walk forward invisibly. She had come by carriage with Fu Jinhua, but now she dared not use her spiritual power to speed up in front of so many experts, lest they notice something was wrong, so she had to walk out on foot.
After leaving the auction house area, Ye Yu began to look around for any hidden places.
She planned to wait until all the people who had attended the auction had left before she left herself.
Because there are many experts here, including several Earth-rank experts, Ye Yu couldn't guarantee that his invisibility technique could fool them.
. . . . . .
Six people were sitting in a room on the second floor of the auction hall: Lu Zunrong, Fu Jinhua, Zhuge Zhan, a thin old man, a fat man, and a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous robes.
At this moment, Fu Jinhua was shocked: "You're saying Yu Ye is the one who sells the Youth Preservation Pill?"
The middle-aged man spoke sincerely, "If it weren't for Sect Leader Lu, we would never have leaked the guest's information. If we had known earlier that Sect Leader Lu wanted that piece of yellow cloth, none of this would have happened."
Lu Zunrong simply cupped his hands in greeting to the middle-aged man, it was unclear whether he believed him or not.
The thin old man and the fat man nodded only after receiving the middle-aged man's approval: "It is indeed the woman who was with you."
Fu Jinhua's face was contorted with anger.
Lu Zunrong took a sip of tea and asked, "What is the background of this Yu Ye?"
“I don’t know her background. She only said that she was from a small sect, but she does have some skills and cured the poison I was poisoned.” Fu Jinhua no longer hid anything.
"This person is indeed very mysterious. The talismans, magical artifacts, and pills she took out are not ordinary items. Although she said they were all made by her friends, upon closer inspection, how could she so easily control them?" The thin old man adjusted his glasses.
As the group was discussing, someone from the auction house came up to report that they had lost track of Ye Yu.
Immediately afterward, the disciples of the Taiyi Sect stepped forward to report that they had lost Ye Yu.
Lu Zunrong stood up from his seat and said, "It seems this person is indeed quite capable. Pass down the order that we must find this Yu Ye."
