Chapter 631: Chapter 631
After all, external clan-trained grandmasters really do not always match up to internal clan grandmasters.
Thus, Yilong Tu had no intention of competing verbally.
He was well aware that this bottle of elixir pill would undoubtedly provoke a fierce competition among those present in Huadu.
Xu Hao was somewhat puzzled at this time.
Why would Elder Xie bring out this bottle of elixir pill?
He hadn't brought out healing pills, nor had he brought out pills that could treat complicated diseases. Xu Hao didn't believe that the Valley of the Medicine King lacked such elixirs.
But Elder Xie did not bring them out!
Instead, he brought out a Bone Strengthening Pill that could enhance a martial artist's strength!
The implications contained within... were rather thought-provoking.
Xu Hao looked at the bottle of elixir pill with interest, but, nevertheless, had no intention to bid.
He did not have any mastery period experts under him, let alone anyone at the Great Perfection Mastery Level, so it was of no use to him.
In contrast, the heads of these families, each looking at that bottle of elixir pill, seemed as if they were gazing at an unparalleled beauty, each one excited and determined to win it. This copy was generated from content at *.
At that moment, Elder Dong smiled and said, "The value of this bottle of elixir pill, I believe everyone understands, is indeed a rare treasure. The subsequent impact it can have is something everyone is surely aware of, so without further ado, the starting bid is one hundred million, let the auction begin!"
However, what was surprising was that no one started bidding immediately!
But, that was also normal, after all, no one wanted to be the first to step forward.
Many family heads looked at each other, but none of them took the initiative to speak up first.
At this moment, the Patriarch of the Wei family laughed and said, "Since everyone is silent, let me be the one to step forward. Actually, our Wei family's stance has always been very firm, closely following Young Master Xu's steps. However, if our family could have a Grandmaster Level expert, it would be even more helpful to Young Master Xu. Therefore, my Wei family bids 200 million!"
Xu Hao slightly raised his eyelids and said lightly, "If the Wei family lacks funds, I can help out with a bid of 2 billion."
Everyone was greatly shocked upon hearing this.
2 billion was not a small amount, and now that the Wei family had declared their allegiance to Xu Hao, Xu Hao reciprocated by immediately offering to support them with 2 billion!
This was indeed a tremendous amount of support!
It was evident that Xu Hao was very good to his people.
Xu Hao did not make any declarations to the Sun family or the Qian family; their strength was already strong enough. Winning the bid would be like adding wings to a tiger, but losing it would also be acceptable.
Now the Tu family had sent out their Third Young Master, Yilong Tu, officially indicating that the Tu family was starting to get involved in the affairs of Huadu.
The power of the Tu family goes without saying; in Huadu, the Tu family was an invincible presence, and countless people were watching, unsure of which side to choose, because choosing poorly could mean doom!
However, at this crucial moment, the Patriarch of the Wei family took the initiative to show loyalty to Xu Hao, which somewhat surprised Xu Hao.
But precisely because of this, Xu Hao was willing to greatly help them.
As for the Sun family, their power was already strong, giving them more was simply gilding the lily, and Xu Hao had no plans to support them.
Compared to gilding the lily for the Sun family, clearly, helping the Wei family out of a tight spot was a better choice.
The Patriarch of the Wei family quickly bowed deeply to Xu Hao, saying very respectfully, "Thank you, Young Master Xu, for your strong support!"
Xu Hao nodded slightly and said, "Even if you don't manage to win the bid, don't be too upset. Perhaps it won't be long before your family will have a Grandmaster Level expert."
He was confident about this. Xu Hao felt that sooner or later he would become an alchemist and an artifact refiner, which would, in turn, help enhance the strength of his subordinates. All of this was within his plans.
The Patriarch of the Wei family was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily.
Since they had chosen to stand with Xu Hao, they had to unconditionally believe what Xu Hao said, especially since it was very likely that Xu Hao could achieve it.
Elder Dong laughed and said, "The Patriarch of the Wei family bids 200 million, is there a higher bid?"
The Patriarch of the Zhang Family stood up and laughed, "Brother Wei, I bid 250 million."
The Patriarch of the Wei family shrugged his shoulders, indifferent, he would not be surprised if the elixir pill sold for one billion.
"My Cao family bids 300 million!"
"Jin family 330 million!"
One shout after another echoed continuously, as the heads of these families competed desperately.
"Zhou family, 1.2 billion Huaya Currency!"
At this shout, the heads of the smaller families were all silenced instantly.
Once the Zhou family started bidding, it signaled that the competition among these smaller families had ended.
The Patriarch of the Wei family did not continue to bid either, he was waiting. If the final amount did not exceed 2.5 billion, then he would increase his bid. If it did, then he truly was helpless.
"Qian family, 1.3 billion!"
"Sun family, 1.4 billion!"
"Wu family, 1.5 billion!"
Compared to the earlier bids by the families which increased by tens of millions, the bids of the Four Great Families were much more aggressive, each increase not less than one billion!
One billion, that was the money a common person could not earn in a lifetime of hard work, but in the eyes of these major family heads, it was just a mere increment in a bid.
Soon, the price reached 2 billion, bid by the Wu family.
