Legend of the Heavenly Swordsman
Ch.75 - Short Competition

Fu Chen was very surprised to hear his senior instantly raise the price so high. Although he was only the first to attend this auction, what his senior did might be detrimental to himself.

His senior is too attention-grabbing, maybe there will be people who want to hinder him or just play tricks on him because they realize that room number 10 must really need the pill.

"Senior, are you sure you're doing this?" fu Chen asked worriedly.

"Just calm. I've been looking for information about the people in the room. None of them would be interested in this pill." Xiao Jung said it seriously. Moreover, he wanted to show the Jewel Star Tower if he would buy the pill at any cost.

Hearing Xiao Jung's words, Nie Mi frowned until her eyebrows almost fused together. Information about the occupants of the room is very confidential, it is also intended to ensure the safety of the person.

However, seeing Xiao Jung get so much secret information made him a little suspicious. Could there be an insider leaking it? He should immediately report this to the superiors after the auction ends.

"The first offer from room number 10, 20,000 gold pieces!" Ye Kong repeated Xiao Jung's offer because no one else bid at a higher price after that.

"23,000!" Someone from room number 4 made an offer.

Xiao Jung stared intently at the cubicle, his face looking displeased. "Prince? Why would he want to take the pill? I know no one is sick in the imperial palace. Does he just want to play around? Ck, fuck."

"The people in the room are crazy! They're willing to spend that kind of money just for a pill?"

"Good, this is what should happen." Ye Kong pulled the corner of his lips and smiled knotfully.

"Ball number 4 has put up a fight. Will there be another room that wants to interfere to stop room number 10!? Let's see!"

"Ck."Xiao Jung's tongue clucked, but a moment later he let out a long sigh. "I can't be rash to face that person. Let's see how much money you have, Prince."

"28.000!"

"How's this? Do you still want to bargain? It doesn't seem like he'll give up easily" Prince Song told Meng Tian.

"Sister.." Meng Zhi looked at her brother anxiously. Her brother's face was extremely tense with his hands clenched hard.

"Give me the rest." Meng Tian glanced at room number 10 sharply. "34,000!" said loudly.

"Oh. room number 4 seems to want to challenge room number 10. This auction is heating up closer to its peak!" ye Kong's words made the atmosphere even more heated.

"What are you going to do Young Master Xiao? The person in the room is not something you can fight with your family money," Ye Kong grinned widely in his heart. He is the leader of the auction this time, of course he already knows who is in the room.

Xiao Jung frowned upon hearing the offer, he did not understand what the Prince's purpose was when he realized he was raising the price so high. "Alright, I will serve you courteously," Xiao Jung said after biting his lower lip.

"37,000" Xiao Jung said with a faint smile.

Meng Tian clucked in annoyance, he glanced towards Meng Zhi with a complicated gaze. "I have to be calm, this is all for your sister's sake" he said inwardly, taking a breath.

"40.000."

Prince Song leaned his head then shook his head slowly. He smiled faintly after a moment of seeing Meng Tian bid. "I knew he was the son of an Emperor. But I didn't expect him to bring that kind of money. Where did he put the money?"

On the other hand, Xiao Jung snorted softly and returned to making an offer. It continued until the price of the Goddess Tear Pill reached 61,000. There was a pause for a few moments because both sides seemed to draw their breaths.

The attendants on the first floor could only gulp down their saliva looking at the already soaring price. Although that amount of money was quite ordinary for those in the Swordsman King realm, no one would willingly take it out for just a pill.

Moreover it was a healing pill, with the regeneration ability of their bodies as the Swordsman King. Such pills are actually not very useful.

"Sister, stop. That pill isn't necessarily going to cure me. We go to this place just to find information about it" Meng Zhi whispered to Meng Tian.

Prince Song did not listen to Meng Zhi's words, but he also reminded Meng Tian. "Brother Tian, I don't know what you want from that pill. But, you better stop it soon. With that kind of money you can find other valuable resources."

Meng Zhi glanced at Prince Song, "That's right big brother, trust me." He looked back at his brother with a worried face.

Meng Tian seemed to be thinking hard, but after a while he finally let out a heavy breath while closing his eyes. "All right, I'm giving up."

Meng Zhi smiled happily at her, as soon as she hugged her brother's body tightly.

"Senior, are you okay?" Fu Chen asked worriedly.

"It's fine, this is still in my calculations," Xiao Jung replied without turning his head.

His legs support the arms that are clenching firmly. Highlight his eyes so seriously looked at the silhouettes of the people in room number 4. "The money I brought was about 150,000. If the price of this pill continues then I am forced to take it off, "inspiring Xiao Jung as he continued to think.

Nie Mi seemed to smile at the tension of Xiao Jung, for some reason but her feelings felt better to see the Young Master suffering.

"61,000 first!"

"What's this about? Has room number 4 given up on their offer? Too bad, so very dear. This spectacle seems to be coming to an end." Yeng Kong intends to return to fishing booth number 4.

Ye Kong then smiled wryly as he glanced at room number 10. "How is Young Taun Xiao? In the end you'll have to pay almost double what you were offering back then."

"61.000 2nd!"

The audience also voiced it to heat up the people in room number 4. Unfortunately, there was no reply from them.

"61.000 3rd!"

Buk up! Buk up! Buk up!

Xiao Jung snorted in annoyance after that. "If you want to see a spectacle, then I will present something interesting to you," he mumbled softly.

"Looking at how hot the competition was, it certainly makes us impatient to see what happens to this 3rd main item. But before that, allow me to introduce him, welcome this greatest pill in the Song Empire! The Sun Moon Pill!"

After Xuan Rong pulled the covering cloth. Right in the middle of the glass box was a dark-colored pill with a hint of gold on its face. The color of the pill is so dark as a solar eclipse that it describes its name.

"As we all know, the strongest poison in the current Song Empire - no, it might even be one of the strongest among the three Empires in the Eastern Continent. He is the poison of the King Centipede of the Red Cloud sect."

"The poison is deadly! Even an early stage Swordsman was helpless before him. That extremely powerful poison would be extremely dangerous if not immediately at the opponent."

"Therefore, we of the Gem Star Tower have gone to great lengths to find a way to deal with the poison. The answer is this pill! The Sun Moon Pill."

"With our years of research, this pill is even capable of becoming an even greater antidote to poison. With the existence of this pill, the poison of the King's Centipede was no longer a threat."

"Price starts at 15,000 gold pieces!"

Some of the auction participants who heard the explanation were initially very excited, especially those who studied alchemists as well as healers. But after hearing the initial price of the item, they lost interest.

They think this is a big game. Although the Jewel Star Tower had guaranteed it, there was no definitive proof that the pill could actually conquer the strongest poison right now, the King's Centipede poison.

"Which fool would believe that? Even the greatest alchemists in the empire still had not found an antidote to the poison. Don't make me lose faith because of this shit!"

Some people started making slanted comments. They all still do not know the origin of this organization, therefore they would not believe if the alchemists of this organization could find an antidote that even the renowned alchemists in the Song Empire had not been able to find.

Xiao Jung got up from his seat while smiling widely. His gaze was locked on the burly man in the middle of that hall. "30,000" he said with a smile that lingered.

"What do you think, Old Man? I saved that special thing from there. The King's Centipede Poison isn't something you can easily offend, even if you carry the name of your organization."

Xiao Jung smirked. Before this auction was announced, he had actually come to Old Man Ye Kong to buy Sun Moon pills at a high price. Even higher than the offer he was currently making.

But unfortunately, Ye Kong actually rejected it under the pretext that the pill was an item that could not be removed from the auction list. And now he would realize, if the people still did not fully trust the organization of the Gem Star Tower.

Meanwhile, Nie Mi's forehead looked wrinkled with sharp eyes aimed at Xiao Jung. "Master, I'll go out and pick up the item you got earlier. Please give me permission."

Xiao Jung only glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, then raised his left hand to agree to Nie Mi's request.

Nie Mi bowed and walked over to the door. After closing the door, the look on his face turned complicated. He took a deep breath before rushing to the first floor.

Xiao Jung smiled cynically realizing it. "I told you. You guys are wrong in choosing people" he said coldly.
