Chapter 934: Chapter 932: AUCTION FRENZY
Surely, after several rings, she couldn’t go through and she looked bitter as she dialed another number.
After several rings this time, the call was answered and she let out a sigh of relief.
"Uncle, I am very sorry to disturb you but I would like to speak to brother Lennox. Is he at home?" she nervously spoke, her heart thumping loudly in her chest.
After a moment of silence, the Uncle responded, "Young Master is in the alchemy room. Is it important?"
Raya turned sullen upon hearing that. Disturbing a busy person, especially in the middle of concocting was a great taboo. But what else could she do?
She could only grit her teeth and respond, "Uncle, its very urgent. A special account had just put on auction rare pills which I believe brother will be very interested in his alchemy journey. Its on the Mystical market." She urgently explained the matter and surely upon hearing that, the Uncle didn’t take the matter lightly.
[I will pass the information to the Young Master. He will get back to you!]
After that, the call was dropped and Raya sighed with relief.
Although she didn’t get a direct response, knowing the other party, he would get things down as soon as possible.
-----
Meanwhile, elsewhere, a middle-aged man wearing a butler suit walked with steady steps on a narrow-paved path which led him to a secluded bamboo courtyard, quite a long distance from the majestic mansion that stood tall behind him.
The man walked swiftly and in a short while he was standing at the door.
"What do you want?" before he could say anything, an authoritative, deep baritone voice sounded.
The man stood straight, his eyes shimmering with joy as he responded, "Young Master, Chief Raya just called."
"Tche! Didn’t I tell you not to let anyone disturb me?" The Young Master sounded angry but the man didn’t seem fazed.
He didn’t act on impulse, so he wasn’t worried.
"She called because someone put on auction the berserk pills, longevity pills, spirit gathering pills and break through pills!" he excitedly shared, knowing how much this piece of news would be very helpful and welcomed by the Young Master locked up inside there.
The moment the butler said that, the door automatically opened and he joyfully entered the courtyard.
------
On the Mystical market forum, there was a hot thread where a hot discussion was currently ensuing.
[This account has been dormant for months and upon return, it came back with a bang.]
[Could this account belong to a grandmaster?]
[Obviously. Anyone who can take out such pills should be nothing more than a grandmaster.]
[And his cultivation level should be that of a Lord or King.]
[Huh, do we have such bigshots?]
Talking about cultivation levels, there were three realms namely, low, middle and advanced.
The first two realms weren’t that important and noteworthy. After all, a person who was in the middle realm could only live up to 150 years if nothing goes wrong. The real deal starts at the advanced realm which has eight levels.
So, when these users on Mystical market talks about bigshots, they mean those who are at the advanced realm only.
Talking about levels, starting from the lowest to the highest; Spirit, Origin, Lord, King, Emperor, Saint, Immortal, and Transcendent.
Of course, in this world, the last stage everyone believes to be the last is the King level which no one had reached so far but who knows? Some people didn’t like showing off.
They might exist and simply being low key.
That matter of levels brought a wave of enthusiasts. Not everyone had a lot of money and with how crazy the auction was in just a few hours and yet the war would be lasting three good days, they could only find entertainment though such discussions.
[I don’t think that if a person was this powerful could hide and not brag.]
[Not everyone cultivates for the sake of fame. If I had such abilities, I would just live like a normal human being without any fuss.]
[That’s true. Such power is disastrous. Who can say that no trouble could harm you or your family?]
[But why are you insinuating that the cultivator is male? Can’t it be female?]
[Tche! Don’t even start.]
[Forget this wishful dreamer.]
[Forget about berating each other. Guys, I just left that side and my head is aching with envy. How could these people have so much money?]
[What’s happening?]
Everyone became interested in what was going on and some even left the discussion to witness the battle themselves and the moment they got there, they were stunned and stupefied.
The bidding price had unceremoniously risen to U$ 300 million and it was still on going.
There were five pills under each category. These pills were sold individually and the bids for the pills were also happening individually and yet, the bidding prices were almost the same.
At this rate, wouldn’t the seller be netting in billions with just twenty pills?
How could these people not feel sour?
Unbeknownst to them, the ones who were bidding were sweating buckets, cussing those who kept on increasing prices.
At this rate, who could afford getting a single pill?
However, for some, they looked calmly at the crazy frenzy without placing a single bet.
With more than sixty hours to go, there was still time for them to play.
-----
In a certain bamboo courtyard, the Young Master looked expressionlessly at the screen, watching as the figures kept on jumping and increasing.
However, inwardly, he was thinking to himself, ’Just what does this person want so much money for?’
Without being desperate, there was no way one would throw away such great pills and give them others.
Being an alchemist himself, though he hadn’t reached the grandmaster threshold, he understood how difficult it was to concoct such pills.
It wasn’t just about the difficulty but the rarity of the herbs.
So, at seeing such a grand move, if it wasn’t about money, he didn’t know what else it would be.
Fame, that was a big NO. By now, the whole world would have known who the grandmaster was but since the other party was that low-key, he could only think otherwise.
If Diamond were to hear his thoughts, she would shiver at how correct he was.
She was so desperate for money that she hastily auctioned the best pills she had on hand.
Who would have thought that she would be able to earn the desired amount in less than a day?
Fortunately, and unfortunately, she was completely unaware of the online drama, and currently in dreamland.
If she knew, perhaps she wouldn’t have slept a wink and guarded the screen as if she was guarding a treasure.
