Protect Our Clan Leader-Chapter 637 - 66: Get it! Treasure Pill of the Extreme"_1

...

Compared to people from the typical Purple Abode Families, the members of the Zuo Qiu family were distinctly more at ease and confident.

This was the kind of demeanor cultivated from being at a superior position for a long time, proud and carefree. The saying "long-standing position cultivates grace" speaks exactly to this.

"Shihai, would the Rank Four Prominent Family also be interested in the ’Spirit Communication Treasure Pill’ or the ’Boundless Treasure Pill’?" Wang Shouzhe’s expression was slightly solemn.

"Fourth Grandpa, Spirit Communication Treasure Pill and Boundless Treasure Pill are both Rank Six Spirit Pills. These pills require not only elusive ingredients but also rigorous alchemy methods. It is said that only an Alchemist who has reached the Divine Power Territory could refine them," replied Wang Shihai.

"Rank Four Prominent Families, like us, belong to the Purple Abode Families and still have an interest in Rank Six Spirit Pills. However, since the Rank Four Prominent Families are so powerful and often the Overlords of a region, they have more resources, connections, and heritage than us, and obtaining Rank Six Treasure Pills for them is comparatively easier."

"I see; they are more interested in cost-effectiveness." Wang Shouzhe nodded, feeling slightly relieved.

Just like how the "Heavenly Spirit Pill" is to the Rank Nine Aristocratic Families, because of limited access and scarcity, if an opportunity arises to acquire them, they tend to be willing to pay a premium price.

But given the status of the Wang Family today, there are many channels available to obtain Grade Four Heavenly Spirit Pill. If the price is not right, they can choose not to buy it and simply purchase more when a suitable price comes along.

"Mostly this is true, as Fourth Grandpa has said," replied Wang Shihai, with a slight frown. "But precisely because Rank Four Prominent Families are stronger and richer, if they really need a certain treasure, their ability to pay a premium price can be quite terrifying."

"If so, let’s just wait and see."

Wang Shouzhe was calm. Even though he had a strong need for the Boundless Treasure Pill, if it came to the point of being unaffordable, he would feel no regret in giving up.

After all, he could slowly search for it in the future.

Half an hour passed.

All the attendees in the private rooms slowly assembled, and the auction officially began.

Compared to the auction Wang Shouzhe previously attended in the Eastern Sea, this auction was of a much higher standard. Not only were the attendees mostly from Rank Six and Rank Five Families, but even the auctioneer was an elderly man in the Heavenly Human Realm.

This was to prevent the auctioneer from being too weak and not being able to control the situation.

After some opening remarks and warming up the crowd, very soon, the first item was brought up.

It was a jade box with thirty identical Spirit Pills, beaming with spiritual energy, exuding a pleasant medicinal fragrance, and faintly emanating a blue light.

"The first item for auction, thirty pills of the Rank Four Spirit Pill ’Soul Nurturing Pill’," the auctioneer introduced. "This pill can nourish the spirit and enhance your vitality. It is suitable for Purple Abode Realm cultivators to take during cultivation, or as a supplementary pill for Tianjiao cultivators when breaking through to the Purple Abode.

The starting price is 300,000, with each bid increment no less than 10,000."

"?"

A change passed over Wang Shouzhe’s face.

The first item to be auctioned in this high-ranking auction was the Rank Four Spirit Pill, Soul Nurturing Pill.

In terms of unit price, although this Spirit Pill was considerably cheaper compared to the same Rank Four Heavenly Spirit Pill, the Heavenly Spirit Pill was used for advancing to the Spirit Platform Realm and generally, one would be enough. The Soul Nurturing Pill, on the other hand, was a daily cultivation necessity...

Wang Shouzhe was slightly tempted to bid for the Old Ancestor Longyan.

"Don’t be impulsive, Shouzhe." Old Ancestor Longyan, seemingly noticing Wang Shouzhe’s intentions, spoke casually, "I’m still early in the Heavenly Human Realm; the ’Big Gathering Spirit Pill’ is enough for now. It’s not late to switch to this pill when I reach the advanced stage. Today, you must firstly secure the Boundless Treasure Pill at all costs. Everything else can be postponed."

"Yes, Old Ancestor," Wang Shouzhe nodded in agreement.

While the Soul Nurturing Pill was precious, it was much more commonly available than the Boundless Treasure Pill. Given the current resources of the Wang Family, they could always obtain a considerable amount as long as they made an effort. There is no need to insist on purchasing it here.

However, just because Wang Shouzhe didn’t want this Spirit Pill, it didn’t mean that other families would relinquish it too.

There was quite some room for price increase starting at 300,000 for thirty pills. Soon, the auction price was pushed up to 380,000 and was eventually won by someone at the price of 410,000 Qian Gold.

During this time, the Wang Family of Southern Desert also tried to bid, but they gave up at 370,000. Undoubtedly, they also wanted to conserve their funds for something they were more interested in.

With the Soul Nurturing Pill being auctioned off, the next item was brought up.

The auctioneer methodically began introducing: "Medium Grade Magical Weapon ’Chasing Moon Spear’ is now up for auction, starting at 500,000 Qian Gold."

In the auction held in Guard City, a Medium Grade Magical Weapon was considered a major object to be sold, but here, it was just considered an ordinary lot.

For the Purple Abode families, they would usually have at least a dozen or as many as several dozen cultivators in the Heavenly Human Realm. The power of a Medium Grade Magical Weapon far exceeded that of a Lower Grade Magical Weapon, offering considerable benefits in fights against equals.

Usually, Tianjiao cultivators from the Purple Abode families would be equipped with Medium Grade Magical Weapons for protection, and even some of the more powerful elders could have a Medium Grade Magical Weapon to increase their combat power.

This was indeed a great object, Wang Shouzhe would have bid for it to increase the family’s resources if circumstances allowed. Regrettably, today he was bound to miss out on the Chasing Moon Spear.

After a round of bidding, the "Chasing Moon Spear" was sold at the price of 770,000.

In comparison to the price Wang Shouzhe initially paid for a Medium Grade Magical Weapon "Purple Thunder Sword" at 590,000, the price was considerably higher. This demonstrated the vast difference in resources between the Purple Abode families and the 7th-rank Aristocratic Families.
