220- Orochi's plan 1

“Body Strengthening Pill, as its name suggests, is a pill used by cultivators to increase their strength and make their body stronger.”

“As you all know that the Body Strengthening pill is a [Normal Grade Level 11] Pill and it is of great use to all the cultivators in the Mortal Realm, especially those whose cultivation has reached the Evolver stage and Demi-Human stage.”

“And it is said that any person who consumes a Body Strengthening Pill, then they can challenge someone above his level. So, dear customers please note that these Body Strengthening Pills will be of great use to you or your relatives and friends.”

“Today we are auctioning a total of 18 Body Strengthening Pills. And in the 18 Body Strengthening Pill, there are 15 low quality pills and 3 medium quality pills, they are sold separately.”

“So, each pill bottle contains 3 Body Strengthening Pills in it.”

“Before I mention the starting price of these bottles, I would like to inform every customer attending this auction that these pills are concocted by our branch’s Pill Guru, Mr. Aryan Lal.”

As soon as Liza Dohm finished speaking, a series of exclamations sounded in the hall and few discussions also began.

In the Silver grade VIP room, Orochi had little interest in these ‘Body Strengthening Pills’.

He knows few things about these ‘Body Strengthening Pills’.

It is said that if a cultivator in the Evolver stage takes a Body Strengthening Pill, then that person’s strength would increase dramatically.

But what Orochi knows is that if an Evolver stage cultivator consumes the Body Strengthening Pill, at least 1/3 to 1/4 medicinal property of that pill gets wasted because an Evolver stage cultivator’s body cannot absorb the Body Strengthening Pill’s full medicinal property completely.

And the same goes for those Refinement stage cultivators. Almost 50-60% of medicinal property gets wasted.

And only when a person with Demi-Human stage cultivation can utilize and absorb 100% medicinal property of the Body Strengthening Pill.

Yes, although one can say that- why not take a few Body Strengthening pills in the Evolver stage and then take a few more after reaching the Demi-human stage? Won't you get more benefits like that?

The answer to this is- No. It doesn’t work like that.

Because the body starts to produce resistance against these pills.

So, every person can only eat 3 Body Strengthening Pills, and if a person consumes more, then other than wasting Body Strengthening Pills there is no other result.

And the auction must also be aware of this fact, so they are selling the Body Strengthening pill in a batch of 3. but they hid the fact one person can only take 3 Body Strengthening pills.

Of course, as an organization that is set up to earn mountains of money, how can they do something that brings them fewer profits?

Orochi decided to bid for the medium quality Body Strengthening pill and let others fight for those low quality ones.

.

Liza Dohm was happy to see everyone was so enthusiastic about the first item, then she tried to calm the crowd and announced,

“The starting price of each bottle of low quality Body Strengthening pills is 500 gold coins. And each increase in bid must be higher than 50 gold coins.”

“Now please start bidding for one bottle of pills at a time...”

As her voice fell, people started bidding crazily.

“550 Gold Coins.”

“600 Gold Coins.”

“700 Gold Coins.”

.

.

Finally, the first bottle of Body Strengthening pill was sold for 1200 gold coins.

Similarly, the remaining 4 bottles were auctioned at a price range of 1100 to 1300 gold coins.

When all the low quality Body Strengthening pills were auctioned off, it was the turn of the last bottle containing medium quality Body Strengthening pills.

Liza Dohm spoke,

“Now, the starting price of the bottle of medium quality Body Strengthening pills is 750 gold coins. And each increase in bid must be higher than 50 gold coins.”

As soon as her voice fell, the crazy bidding once again set off.

“800 Gold Coins.”

“850 Gold Coins.”

.

.

Orochi did not have the patience to wait for this crazy bidding to stop, so he made his bid.

“1500 Gold Coins.”

As soon as Orochi’s voice fell, 80% of the people who wanted to bid for medium quality pills reluctantly quit and decided to sit on the sidelines and watch, because for them this price has crossed their limit.

Liza Dohm looked at Orochi’s room and smiled. She announced,

“The gentleman sitting in the Silver room No. 18, has bid 1500 gold coins.”

“Is there anyone willing to bid a higher price?”

She looked at other VIP rooms and tried to incite other customers.

Seeing that no one was willing to bid, she started the countdown,

“1500 gold coins for the first time.”

“1500 gold coins for the second time.”

As soon as her voice fell, a loud voice rang.

“1700 gold coins.”

Liza Dohm immediately stopped her countdown.

When Orochi heard this voice, he smiled a little and whispered in a low voice.

“And here I was waiting for you to make trouble.”

Orochi knew the owner of this voice. It was none other than Alex Xavier.

He also knew that as soon as he would bid, Alex Xavier would create trouble.

But Orochi has been waiting for this very moment, as he has long wanted to make use of Alex Xavier as his scapegoat.

Liza Dohm’s voice rang in the hall,

“Esteemed customer from the Gold Room Number: 11 has made a bid of 1700 gold coins, is there anyone willing to increase the price?”

As soon as her voice fell, the remaining people who wanted to bid decided to quit.

Joke, they are well aware that anyone who can stay in the Gold room, belongs to a powerful background. So, if they bid, then other than bringing trouble upon themselves they won’t get any profit.

Instead, they will lose money to the auction and also offend some powerful faction.

So, when Liza Dohm asked if anyone was willing to bid, they closed their eyes as if they were meditating.

But Orochi was interested in these pills, so he made his bid,

“2000 gold coins.”

As soon as his voice fell, everyone looked in the direction of Orochi’s room with astonishment, doubt, pity, etc.

They wished to know who was so brave to bid when someone from Gold Room, who has indirectly warned everyone that he is interested in these pills?

But when they saw that it was someone from the silver room, most of them felt that the person inside the silver room must also belong to some powerful faction because people who can stay in a silver room are also with some background, so their expressions soon returned to normal. And their shock faded.
