3: Early Auction! Life Extension Pill! (Part 2)
Soon, Holy Maiden Lin Ke’er introduced the second auction item.
When the words Life Extension Pill came out, some of the elders directly jumped up and stared with wide eyes.
“The order of the Life Extension Pill’s auction, why is it so far ahead?”
“That’s right, shouldn’t this be the finale?”
“Foreign Affairs Elder, what were you thinking. How could you make such a huge mistake!”
The elders were all shocked.
The Life Extension Pill was a treasure for the finale.
Countless old monsters had come out because of it.
It could even be said that half of the 100,000 bidders came for the Life Extension Pill.
How could it be ranked second in the auction?
The Foreign Affairs Elder felt the questioning gazes of the crowd and did not explain.
Ye Chen, on the other hand, spoke from the side, “This is my order!”
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, the elders, who had been incredibly agitated just now, immediately calmed down and sat back in their chairs.
The Transmission Elder who had just spoken out in accusation, even stroked his beard and revealed a smile, “So it was you who ordered this, Saint Master. You must have your own considerations for doing this!”
This kind of differential treatment made the External Affairs Elder extraordinarily sore.
I’m making a mistake by doing this?
The Saint Master has his own considerations if he does this?
This is too double standard.
Ye Chen was also happy to hear this.
Ye Chen knew that the change in attitude of the elders was not because they were afraid of his identity as a Saint Master.
Rather, it was because his own decisions had been correct all along.
That was why they had this attitude after hearing that it was his own order.
Ye Chen waved his hand, signaling everyone to sit down.
Only then did he watch the progress of the auction while speaking, “Since ancient times, any auction has always had the most valuable treasures as the finale.
“But I thought about it carefully.
“Does the most expensive really have to be auctioned at the end?
“For example, in our auction, if the Life Extension Pill is auctioned as the finale, then many bidders, even if they see other preferred bids, are unwilling to place a bid.
“They are afraid that in case they are bidding on other treasures, it will lead to a shortage of spirit stones when it comes time to bid on the Life Extension Pill.”
“If most of the bidders hold this kind of mentality, then in the preliminary auction, most of them are bound to be unwilling and afraid to bid.
“This will result in auction items that could have been sold at a much higher price not being sold at the price they should be.
“Instead of this, why not auction the Life Extension Pill in advance?
“After the crowd competes, the person with the most determination and financial resources buys the Life Extension Pill.
“The rest of the bidders who failed in the auction won’t have to remember the Life Extension Pill. They can go all out and bid for other treasures without any qualms.
“That’s what I think, but whether it’s correct or not, I’m not sure myself. What do the elders think?”
Ye Chen didn’t think that his own idea was necessarily right.
He wanted to hear the opinions of the crowd.
However, the elders were in deep thought as they listened to Ye Chen’s words.
They had not thought about this before.
Now that they had heard it, they were quite agreeable.
The words of the Saint Master made a lot of sense.
The Transmission Elder even nodded, “The tradition of the finale auction is actually to allow guests to have the patience to stay from the opening to the end.”
“This way, in case the guests wait for the finale treasure, they might participate in the bidding of other items that catches their interest.
“Doing so is greatly beneficial to the auction house’s business.
“But it’s true that our Immortal Net Auction House doesn’t need to have any grand finale, as the auction items have long since spread throughout the entire Great Yan Province.
“What treasures Immortal Cultivators need, they themselves have long been clear about it.
“So with the lesser concern of the Life Extension Pill, these Immortal Cultivators were instead able to bid on other treasures without a care in the world!
“Your thinking, Saint Master, is truly heavenly! No wonder you were able to create so many incredible things!”
As the many elders listened, they all nodded their heads as well.
The early auction of the Life Extension Pill had surprised the entire cultivators of Great Yan Province beyond measure.
However, for the Immortal Net Auction House, it was more beneficial than detrimental!
Video Auction.
Lin Ke’er looked at the densely packed question pop-ups.
A slight smile appeared, like a spring breeze brushing her face.
She ruffled her long hair and spoke gently, “All of you need not doubt that the second auction item is the Life Extension Pill!
“After inspection by our clan’s pill elders, this pill has been sealed in a treasure artifact grade pill bottle in an extremely perfect state.
“The loss of potency is minimal!
“It can prolong life for sixty years and possesses all sorts of incredible effects such as reversing the aging of the physical body and the aging of the divine sense.”
Lin Ke’er’s introduction even caused an uproar.
Surprisingly, it really was a Life Extension Pill.
Although the crowd couldn’t understand why the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land would auction the Life Extension Pill in advance, when they thought about it more carefully, this was not a bad thing for them.
There were many treasures in this auction.
Most of the bidders had several items they desired.
They wanted to buy but didn’t dare to, fearing that they wouldn’t have enough money when bidding for the Life Extension Pill.
But what they were most worried about was in case they didn’t end up buying the Life Extension Pill, they would also miss out on other treasures that could be found but not sought after.
It would ultimately result in them being empty-handed.
Now that the Life Extension Pill was auctioned in advance, it was best if they can buy it.
If they couldn’t buy it, they could also relax their minds and compete for other treasures.
It was not as if they were attending such an event but returned empty-handed.
And so, all of the auctioneers who had come for the Life Extension Pill were in high spirits.
They were all waiting for the Holy Maiden Auctioneer to announce the starting price.
While Lin Ke’er paused slightly, her voice resounded once again,
“Life Extension Pill, the auction officially begins.
“Life Extension Pill starting price: one hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones!
“Each increase in price shall not be less than one thousand top-grade spirit stones.”
When Lin Ke’er’s words fell, the onlookers were in an uproar.
All were shocked by the starting price of one hundred thousand.
The bidders, however, were not surprised.
The last time the Life Extension Pill had appeared, it had sold for a sky-high price of one hundred and fifty thousand top-grade spirit stones.
This time, the auction was so loud.
The price was bound to be higher than lower.
A starting price of one hundred thousand was not outrageous!
In less than half a second, there was a decisive voice that resounded in everyone’s ears, “Two hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones!”
Wow…
The entire audience was shocked.
Although they all knew that the competition for the Life Extension Pill was fierce, no one expected that the starting price would be doubled the moment the auction began.
Such an auction was simply unheard of.
Only in the Immortal Net Auction House, which gathered the strongest people from the entire Great Yan Province could such a spectacle be seen!
