Chapter 122: 122

Amidst the clamoring crowd, the auctioneer calmly opened up one of the four vials and used his wind magic to slowly lift the pill without actually touching it.

The pill floated out of the vial and into the air, hovering mid-air.

The auctioneer then materialized a sharp blade made purely of wind energy and flicked his fingers to slice a thin almost invisible layer of the pill.

The slice or rather powdery mass then floated towards the orc and he quickly swallowed it. He then took out another potion from his robe and swallowed that as well.

This specific potion was a buffer potion that was typically used in the auction house to magnify the effects of the pill. The effect however only lasted for a few seconds.

But these few seconds were more than enough to demonstrate the efficacy of the pill.

As soon as the orc swallowed the pill, followed by the potion, his eyes turned white and he started vigorously shaking and shivering.

Gasp. Everyone collectively swallowed their saliva.

This was the Devil Awakening pill indeed! 

The only pill that can summon your inner demons hidden deep inside your heart and shove you into the realm of nightmarish madness.

Only a few survived this nightmarish realm, where the mind is bent, broken and completely taken apart.

1 second passed. 2 seconds passed… Time moved very slowly as everyone watched the orc's reactions in awe. 

After five whole seconds, the orc finally stopped shivering. Color returned to his eyes and cheeks and the man was able to come back to reality.

Again everyone murmured and started discussing amongst themselves.

If this was a true Devil Awakening pill, the orc by now would be bleeding from all his orifices and lying down on the floor twitching and trembling in pain.

But this pill clearly did not have those effects.

The auctioneer nodded in satisfaction. The demonstration part was now done. The bidding followed.

He sent the orc back and calmly spoke after clearing his throat. "Modified Devil Awakening Pill. Starting value 100 gems."

Tang Yue gulped. 100 gems! What a huge number!

Her emerald eyes shone with a glint as she clicked her tongue and waited for the bidding war to begin.

150 gems!

200 gems!

300 gems!

The crowd instantly started shouting out numbers, each voice louder than the previous one.

But these were all still small fries. The big shots hadn't made a move yet and silently watched on.

After an entire minute passed, the first domineering voice echoed immediately silencing the rowdy crowd.

"10000 gems!"

An elven elder from Ni clan had spoken out. 

The Ni clan was one of the old noble clans and held a lot of power and strength in the Eldorian empire.

"Hmph! Old Sil, aren't you guys being a little too tight pursed these days? Ha Ha Ha."

"What a pity!! Such a great clan reduced to this state!!"

"20000 gems!" 

Koen clan elder, Fila Koen chuckled and rubbed his long beard, while doubling the current bid. Koen clan was another elven clan but was a part of the southern elven Empire.

"Shut up, Fila. Do you think I can't afford to match your pitiful amount? You are tight pursed. Your entire clan is tight pursed."

"Hmph. 50000 gems."

Tang Yue's little heart was thumping wildly. This was both exciting and scary at the same time.

50000 gems? What an astronomical number?!

Come on! Come on! Fight it out you old farts and make me rich! She cheered on silently.

While these two noble elven clan elders were fighting with each other, another raspy and hoarse voice sounded.

"100000 gems." A simple and solid bid.

"Who the heck doubled the damned price again?" Someone in the crowd shouted out of frustration. 

The current auction numbers were already far out of their hands. Now it was up to the bigwigs.

Both the Ni clan and Koen clan members turned around to take a look at the new contender, a dwarf.

The sturdy man looked nonchalant as he sat in the back and chewed on a toothpick as if it was just any other day.

"Heh. A dwarf wanting to win an auction in our Eldorian Empire?! Dream on!"

"500000 gems." Fila shouted, wearing a smug expression.

"Fuck your granny. I don't care if I am bankrupting the entire clan, I am getting this pill."

And just like that, the price skyrocketed in an instant!

Tang Yue felt giddy. 500000 gems were enough to drown her entire figure! She had never even dreamt of that much wealth in her lifetime.

Initially, she was a bit nervous about the fuss and attention this event had gathered but now all she could see was the money.

Go Go Go! The snake silently grinned like a maniac. 

With the Ni clan and the Koen clan already in play, and now that even a dwarf had dared to join, the other big clans did not stay idle anymore and started shouting more and more absurd numbers.

The perverted duo, Marvin and Dranuk as well bid on the pill, but were quickly outbid by others and were left behind in the dust.

Tang Yue could recognize their sorry voices and silently chuckled. With every second that passed, she grew more and more excited.

The price was quickly shooting up without limits.

500000

1 million

5 million

10 million

Random scary numbers popped up left and right. 

It would have been a bit different if the pills were sold separately but all the four pills were auctioned together in a single batch.

This meant that anyone who purchased these pills will definitely be able to decipher the formula. So this was more or less a price for the unique invaluable formula rather than the pill itself.

And more importantly, unless the mysterious unknown alchemy practitioner is completely insane, there wouldn't be another such auction at least any time soon.

So the sect which obtains this formula will be able to both dominate the market and the battlefield.
