226- Foundation Stabilizing Pill

“The next item on today’s auction list is the Red Bamboo shell. As I mentioned earlier, Red Bamboo Shell is extremely useful for those in the Mortal realm. And if people eat the food cooked in the Red Bamboo shells, it will have great effects on one’s body and cultivation.”

“Let’s start bidding for 1 Red Bamboo shell at a time.”

“The starting price of each Red bamboo Shell is 500 gold coins. And each increase in bid must not be lower than 50 gold coins.”

Many people attending the auction were aware of the fact that getting the Red Bamboo water is very difficult, so many of them had their sights set on the Red Bamboo Shell.

So, as soon as Liza Dohm called the price, crazy bidding set off.

Soon, all the Red Bamboo Shells were sold at a price range of 1000 gold coins to 2000 gold coins.

And Orochi also bought one Red Bamboo shell.

It's not like Orochi does not know the effects of Red Bamboo Shell and how highly beneficial it is for those with Low cultivation, nor does he lack the money, it's just that after he got 1 Red Bamboo Shell, he saw that Willow Sword Sect and the Chan Clan also bought two Red Bamboo shells each.

So, seeing this, Orochi did not waste any money, since he is bound to get them after the auction.

After the Red Bamboo Shells were sold, the auction continued.

The next items that were auctioned did not attract Orochi’s interest and if any of one or two items did attract his attention, they were either bought by the Willow sword sect or the Chan clan or the people sitting in other Gold Rooms.

So, like this, he waited for more than an hour, after which finally one of the items that Orochi has been waiting for, has finally appeared.

Liza Dohm was holding a small box in her hands.

Everyone's attention was focused on the stage, everyone was quiet.

The whole auction was shrouded in silence.

Then she opened the box and a strong medicinal scent spread throughout the auction building.

Inside the box, a pink-colored pill was stored.

Those who were sitting close to the auction stage felt refreshed and closed their eyes in bliss.

When more and more people inhaled this medicinal fragrance, various exclamations sounded throughout the hall.

“Wow... what’s this smell... it feels so refreshing.”

“Yes... I feel like my cultivation is getting stronger.”

“What pill is this?”

.

Satisfied by watching everyone's expression, Liza Dohm closed the box and spoke,

“The box that I am holding contains a pill which is one of the highlights of today’s auction- The Foundation stabilizing Pill.”

“I am sure that most of the guests attending the auction have heard about the effects of this pill and some can even infer the effects just from its name.”

“And yes, just as its name implies, it can make one’s foundation stable and stronger.”

“Many of you might have heard that in the path of cultivation, the foundation is very important because only when a cultivator has a stable and strong foundation, can the cultivator progress to a higher level in cultivation.”

“And that is true.”

“Those who walk on the path of cultivation, know that strength is the most important thing to achieve one’s goal. And for that one has to possess high cultivation.”

“Many cultivators take different kinds of pills, drugs, herbs that can accelerate one’s cultivation within a short time. But sometimes this leads to an unstable foundation which in the future may result in cultivation deviation, reaching a bottleneck in cultivation and getting stuck at that level, etc.”

“So, this Foundation Stabilizing Pill is useful for those who have achieved quick breakthroughs in cultivation and to make one’s foundation more stable.”

Hearing this, many people present in the audience had expressions of- Sudden Realization.

And their eyes expressed the desire to acquire this ‘Foundation Stabilizing Pill’ no matter what the cost.

Seeing this excitement among the crowd, Liza Dohm smiled with satisfaction.

Liza Dohm: “Foundation Stabilizing pill is a Red Grade Level 4 pill.”

“Today we are auctioning a Medium Quality- Foundation Stabilizing Pill. The starting price is 5000 gold coins. And each increase in bid must be higher than 500 gold coins.”

“Now, everyone please make your bids...”

As soon as her voice fell, people started to bid frantically.

“5500 gold coins.”

“6000 gold coins.”

“6500 gold coins.”

“7500 gold coins.”

“8000 gold coins.”

“8500 gold coins.”

.

.

Within a dozen seconds, the price easily crossed 15,000 gold coins.

Seeing this, Orochi clicked his tongue.

“Tch...”

Suddenly, Armelia interjected.

“Husband, let’s forget about it. I think it would be better to save money instead of spending on some small pill.”

Hearing this, Orochi chuckled and replied,

“Nah... we are getting this pill. Because it is very useful for you.”

“I am annoyed because this pill is only a Medium quality pill. Although, it is not a bad quality, but I still hoped to get a High-quality pill, at least. These money-sucking organizations never mention things which are important in the auction item catalog.”

Meanwhile, Orochi was chatting with Armelia, the bid has already crossed the 20,000 gold coins and even the major powers sitting in the Silver and Gold Grade rooms have also joined the bidding war.

“22000 gold coins.”

“24000 gold coins.”

“25500 gold coins.”

“26500 gold coins.”

.

.

Orochi also joined the bidding war.

“30,000 gold coins.”

But unlike the previous situations, where competition decreased, this time there was no change.

As soon as Orochi made his bid, the next second someone increased the bid.

“31,000 gold coins.”

Finally, when the bid price crossed 38,000 gold coins, the excitement and rate of bidding started to decrease.

“39,000 gold coins.”

“40,000 gold coins.”

.

.

Orochi: “45,000 gold coins.”

As soon as he bid this price, a moment of silence spread throughout the auction hall. Because this price has already crossed the budget limits of the people present in the auction hall, and although the Foundation Stabilizing pill is important and rare, but for them, it is very costly. So, they reluctantly gave up.

As for the people sitting in the Gold and Silver rooms, everyone had a different kinds of ideas running inside their brains.

But most of the ideas had certain similarities and coincided with the decision made by the people of Willow Sword Sect and the Chan Clan, that is- both these powers wanted to take care of Orochi after the auction.

By some coincidence, Alex Xavier’s father and Elder Jit Chan murmured the same sentence:

“Buy all you want because, in the end, all your belonging will fall into my hands.”

There is a saying: the apple never falls far from the tree

Seeing this scene, these words are proven to be true.

Just like Alex Xavier, his father is not a good thing.

Author’s Side Joke: Yeah... an apple never falls far from the tree... but somehow it had to fall on Newton’s head.
