Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 167: Auction 2

"Let’s hope they will fetch a good price." Shen Xu muttered, and Zhen Yuan rubbed his wife’s hair with a doting look.

"Ten promotion pills can allow ten foundation establishment realm cultivators to advance one small realm. The clan patriarchs won’t want the pills to fall into the hands of other families."

As Zhen Yuan speculated, the clan elders did not hold back.

In the end, the Xiao family bought the pills for six million spirit stones.

Lot after lot and item after item, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu watched but didn’t bid for anything.

Before long, Song Wanling announced the thirty-eighth item.

"The thirty-eighth item is a level three cloud vanilla grass." She said, and Shen Xu was pleasantly surprised.

In alchemy, the cloud vanilla grass was the main material for the mind-relaxing pill.

However, Shen Xu was more interested in its other uses.

From his studies, he knew the cloud vanilla grass could also be used to make tea and spiritual wine.

Most importantly, the tea and wine made from the cloud vanilla grass were more effective than the mind-relaxing pill.

"The starting price is five hundred thousand spirit stones, and the price increase cannot be less than ten thousand." Song Wanqing announced.

"Five hundred and ten thousand." Someone immediately shouted.

"Five hundred and thirty thousand."

"Five hundred and seventy thousand."

.

.

.

"Six hundred and ninety thousand."

"Seven hundred thousand."

The bidding slowed after the price reached seven hundred thousand, but Shen Xu was just getting started.

"Seven hundred and thirty thousand." He shouted.

In another private box on the third floor, several members of the Shi family gritted their teeth in anger.

However, they didn’t dare to make a fuss and could only follow the bid.

"Seven hundred and fifty thousand." A voice called, but soon after, Shen Xu followed.

"Eight hundred thousand."

In the end, Shen Xu bought the grass for a high price of nine hundred thousand spirit stones.

However, he didn’t care about the price.

After all, he had the space and could endlessly grow the cloud vanilla grass.

An incense stick later, a waiter brought a tray of pills to the stage.

"The forty-third item is a bottle of peak-grade Golden Dew pills." Song Wanling announced and quickly continued.

"There are six pills in the bottle, and each was refined using a one-thousand-year-old golden dew flower. I believe I don’t have to tell you the difference between a golden dew pill made with a one-thousand-year golden dew flower and that made with a younger spirit grass."

After saying that, Song Wanling looked at the audience and smiled before continuing.

"The starting price is six million, and the price increase can’t be less than one hundred thousand spirit stones."

Compared to the fight for the promotion pills, the bidding for the Golden Dew pills was more intense.

After all, which family didn’t occasionally produce a genius?

If the genius could refine a better golden dew pill, wouldn’t the family get a powerful helper?

With that mentality, the patriarchs fought, but the bottle still went to the Xiao family.

’What a bad fate.’ Shen Xu thought.

For this auction, Shen Xu prepared jade spirit pills, promotion pills, golden dew pills, and reincarnation fruit pills.

At the moment, only the reincarnation pills had not been auctioned.

However, by some kind of twisted fate, the jade spirit pills, promotion pills, and the golden dew pills were bought by the Xiao family.

"I don’t know what to say." Shen Xu sighed.

"It doesn’t matter." Zhen Yuan said, rubbing his wife’s hair to comfort him.

Besides pills, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan also auctioned some thousand-year spirit grasses, inscribed weapons, and talismans.

In the end, they received twenty billion spirit stones.

Of the twenty billion, three billion were from level four teleportation talismans, sixteen billion were from reincarnation fruit pills, and one billion was from everything else.

However, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan also bought some things.

In addition to the cloud vanilla grass, they bought a one thousand years ice soul, a level four ice element demon core, fire bamboo shoots, and other things, including ores and monster materials.

Fortunately, what they bought was a lot cheaper than what they sold.

After the auction, the two still had more than twenty-two billion spirit stones, including their previous wealth.

[I am a little relieved.] Shen Xu confessed after leaving the auction.

[Me too.] Zhen Yuan said.

With more than twenty billion, they wouldn’t have to worry about spirit stones after they boarded the merchant ship.

Most importantly, they had already prepared everything they needed to prepare.

After this auction, they only needed to wait to board the merchant ship.

[Brother Yuan, we are being followed.] Shen Xu said, and Zhen Yuan nodded.

[Don’t worry.]

[Do you have a plan?]

[I have arranged a one-time teleportation formation in our small courtyard. We just need to return to the courtyard to use it.]

[Where will we teleport to?]

[Outside Dragon City. I have arranged to meet with Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi.]

[What about Lin Xiang? Will we take her to the meeting?] Shen Xu couldn’t help but frown.

[We are meeting them on their flying ship. Lin Xiang can wait for us in another room, or we can put her in a formation disk.]

[Okay. I prefer the formation disk.]

[Good.]

After returning to the courtyard, Shen Xu talked to Lin Xiang, and they put her in a formation disk.

Soon after, Zhen Yuan activated the teleportation formation and disappeared from the courtyard.

When they reappeared, they were in a tall thicket.

[Let’s duck into the space to change our appearance.] Zhen Yuan said.

[Good.] Shen Xu nodded in understanding.

Although they were friends with Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi, the two didn’t want to expose their disguise methods. Even when they disguised Lin Xiang, they didn’t show all their cards.

Instead, they only gave her a disguise talisman to change her appearance and a voice-changing pill, but they didn’t help her change her bone age or aura.

After all, besides each other, they couldn’t completely trust other people.

Considering that, they had to leave a way out for themselves in case Lin Xiang or some other friend betrayed them.
