To Be Celestial's Emperor II
Meeting of Elders IV
“This old man's money is very much! It was only natural that the Thousand Pill sect became the strongest among the four sects” Zhen Yuan shook his head full of admiration for the wealth possessed by the patriarch Yiqian.
“Patriarch Yiqian, I guess that is all you and the Thousand Pill sect have. Such a number is very large and can make a kingdom in the low region into a middle kingdom in a short time. But can such a price afford my Pill recipe?” Zhen Yuan sneered.
“Master Zhen is smart! Then I will bid, 300 million gold coins plus 10 high-end soul techniques of the Sazi clan!” Elder Sazi chuckled softly as he looked at the deeply dissatisfied patriarch Yiqian.
The offer from elder Sazi was much higher than that of Patriarch Yiqian. The Thousand Pill Sect did have top quality Soul techniques, but it was only 3 pieces and its strength was still below that of a great family technique.
Seeing no other offer, Zhen Yuan wanted to give the recipe to elder Sazi but then another offer echoed.
“500 million with 10 top quality soul techniques!” the offer came from a rank 30 high elder. It seems that he is also exhausted in bidding this time. Although these masters had no sect behind them, the great clans and big sects had several times asked for their help causing them to be filled with precious treasures.
“It's not that easy!” Another elder came to bid.
“800 million with 15 top quality soul techniques!” a rank 17 elder gave his final offer.
“Humph! Poor once” elder rank 10 insult. “1 billion with 20 top quality soul techniques!”
All the elders below the top 10 level fell silent. They were very surprised by the extremely high offer. Zhen Yuan didn't even think that his Soul Essence Pill of the past would be very useful in amassing his wealth today.
Although he was not very interested in that soul technique, but not with the Eternal Medicine sect and the Zhen family. He wanted to give them that technique.
“This old man doesn't have much money in the bag, but if it can be bargained for an equivalent price then I will offer it with 5 Mortal” techniques said the ranking elder 5. He had an old man-like attitude but his strength and aura were layer 9.
Finally a mortal technique appeared! Similar to soul techniques, spirit techniques as well as Qi techniques. This one technique was the development of knowledge about the dao of a cultivator. The price of this technique might be equivalent to 1 billion gold coins or equivalent to 10 top quality soul techniques. Of course no one would be foolish to exchange Mortal techniques with either.
“Old sir, you should not be so high for bidding with mortal techniques. Brother, what if 10 billion gold coins plus 5 Mortal techniques!” Now the leader of the high elders spoke. Unlike the leader of the Main elders who was a middle-aged man, the leader of the high elders was none other than a young woman with a 30-year-old age range.
Zhen Yuan was stunned to hear that, the Main Elders did not yet have an offer so Zhen Yuan wished they had also come along in bidding.
Sure enough, the offer of the Soul Essence Pill turned into a show of wealth for the elders. The elders finally came to do their bidding.
“20 billion, 10 mortal techniques and 15 grade weapons 6!” At the end of the bidding left 2 main elders who fought each other. They were the chief elders and ranked second. But eventually the highest bidding fell on the main leader.
Zhen Yuan eagerly gave the scroll he had prepared to the chief elder.
“Hahaha... Nice!” the elder was overjoyed, Zhen Yuan smiled cunningly after picking up the main elder's payment pledge paper and then returned to his place. With that paper he could take his payment at any time from the elder leader's account.
He took out another scroll and began writing there. The elders were astonished by Zhen Yuan's attitude. But the room suddenly shook. The elders turned towards the source of the tremor that was none other than the leader of the main elder.
