The Supreme Wild Young Master-Chapter 587 Great Harvest_1

"There’s nothing impossible about it, they’re going all out. It’s not impossible for them to bring out two billion."

The old nun chuckled: "Unlike us, they don’t need to withhold funds to maintain the sect’s operation. They can go all out, recklessly."

"So, the sect isn’t poor?" Zhang Xian asked.

The old nun replied, "Of course not. How can a sect not afford fifteen billion? Are you belittling the sect?"

"Then why was the price of the Ascension pill so low before?" Zhang Xian asked with a frown.

In his view, the Ascension pill should be worth more than fifteen billion to an Ancient Martial Arts Practitioner because of its enormous allure. After all, it holds the potential to produce a grandmaster.

The old nun said, "Your Ascension pill only has a chance of making someone a Grandmaster, not a guarantee. Business people are always very shrewd. If even they say ’chance’ instead of ’guarantee’, what do you think the buyers will think? Fifteen billion is a bit too much to groom an innate peak realm expert."

"I see," Zhang Xian said, enlightened.

It seemed that for Ancient Martial Arts Practitioners, breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm was incredibly difficult, so much so that they dared not gamble on it.

They, as cultivators, didn’t have this problem. It was only because the Earth’s spiritual energy was so thin that breaking through was tough. If there were a miraculous pill or elixir, it wouldn’t be difficult to step into the Tier Seven Celestial Body Refinement Realm. In fact, he could even break through to the Spiritual Origin Realm, considerably surpassing those at the peak of the Legendary Realm in power.

"Two billion one hundred million..."

"Two billion one hundred and fifty million..."

Down below, the bidding continued. When it got to this price, though, it wasn’t as ferocious as before. Only three women were still fighting tooth and nail.

Clearly, the Beauty-Preserving Elixir had a massive allure for them. They were willing to pay any price to get it.

"Wow..."

Suddenly, the auction hall was filled with exclamations of surprise.

The big screen, which had been inactive, suddenly lit up, displaying a price of three billion.

Jumping straight from two billion one hundred and fifty million to three billion was quite a move. Those three ladies who had been constantly bidding stopped when they saw that price. They gritted their teeth and gave up.

This price was far beyond what they could afford.

"Three billion five hundred million..."

"Three billion six hundred million..."

Once the screen lit up, the bidding did not stop. The numbers continued to flash as more and more billionaires raised the price.

"The price is climbing fast." Luo Shuining was surprised, watching the big screen showing the rapidly flashing numbers.

Jing Yi nodded, "Yes, it’s really fast. I wonder how high it will go if it keeps increasing at this rate."

"This is truly unexpected." Mo Shaoyun laughed happily.

When she came here, she thought earning ten billion would be good enough. However, the Ascension pill had already earned her fifteen billion, and the price of Beauty-Preserving Elixir was still rising...

If things kept going this way, they could easily make fifty billion from this trip.

"Damn..."

Finally, the great screen stopped flashing. The final price was set at eight billion.

Though everyone had been watching the screen and the prices just kept rising, they still couldn’t help gasping when they saw the final price reach eight billion.

After some thought, though, they quickly understood.

Some things can’t be bought with money. When comparing two hundred years of youth and eight billion, it’s hard to judge which is more valuable. It depends on the individual’s perspective.

After all, everyone here had a certain amount of savings. Who would dare to compete here without some real power?

"We should go!"

Seeing the final price, Zhang Xian lost interest in hanging around. He turned and walked away.

"Sigh..."

The old nun sighed and followed him out.

During the auction, she saw two attractive items, but she didn’t have the means to compete for them, much less the courage to bid.

That’s how small sects were. Without power, they lacked means to make money. Without cultivation resources, they would fall further behind other sects.

"What a hassle!" Mo Shaoyun sighed and followed Zhang Xian.

During the auction, it was clear that, despite not bidding, the old nun had her eyes on something.

Though they were not rich at the moment, they could still afford tens of millions. If Jing Yi and Luo Shuining hadn’t been there, she would have helped the old nun. After all, meeting was fate.

Unfortunately, because of Jing Yi and Luo Shuining, she didn’t want Zhang Xian to be embroiled with the Qing Shui Nunnery too much.

"Is it over?"

An old monk in a certain room saw Zhang Xian walk in and quickly got up. Smiling, he asked, "What did you gain this time? It should be considerable, right?"

"Not bad, a total of over nine billion five hundred million," Zhang Xian said with a smile.

The old monk laughed but did not seem surprised. "One Ascension Pill and one Beauty-Preserving Elixir; this figure is entirely within expectations. After all, our Great Buddha Temple invited all the tycoons."

"There’s something that did surprise me," Zhang Xian said with a laugh. "Why would you invite outsiders to participate in the auction?"

"That’s not unusual at all," the old monk replied.

The old monk laughed, "The Beauty-Preserving Elixir is not like other things, it has a great temptation to the outside world. We have no reason to give up such a chunk of fat meat, right? Since you trust our Great Buddha Temple, as the owners, it’s natural for us to maximize the benefits for our customers. That’s beneficial for both parties."

Zhang Xian chuckled, about to speak.

"Crack..."

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a man in a Kasaya robe walked in, laughing, "Ha ha, Lord Zhang, you’re already here! I was about to send someone to summon you!"

"As long as there is money to be made, I’m always quick." Zhang Xian laughed, "Have you tallied up the account?"

The Kasaya monk laughed, "There’s no need to." frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

"Aren’t you supposed to charge a five percent auction fee?" Asked Zhang Xian.

The Kasaya monk replied, "Under normal circumstances, certainly. But for you, Lord Zhang, we at the Great Buddha Temple do not charge an auction fee. It’s a free service."

Seeing the monk being so straightforward, Zhang Xian was somewhat taken aback. Generally speaking, this kind of connection is very secretive, even if there is such an intention, it will not be said so directly.

This monk, however, was good, getting straight to the point and showing his intention to curry favor with him.

"Lord Zhang, your alchemy technique is very magical. We at the Great Buddha Temple hope to continue cooperating with you in the future."

The Kasaya monk looked at Zhang Xian, smiling like a blossoming flower, without any embarrassment, "Similarly, for future cooperation, as long as Lord Zhang needs us, the Great Buddha Temple will, under feasible conditions, provide the most favorable terms to offer you all the help we can."

Zhang Xian looked at the Kasaya monk, hesitated for a moment, then smiled and nodded his head.

If the monk had been beating around the bush, he might not have entertained the idea. However, his straightforwardness and directness actually kindled some goodwill in him. It would be easier to cooperate with such person.

...

The auction venue on the back hill of the Great Buddha Temple.

After the curtain falls on the auction, people gradually leave, flowing out from the entrance like fish in a stream.

Those who did not auction anything looked somewhat gloomy. Those who did, however, looked left and right with alert looks on their faces.

The end of the auction does not mean the end of competition. Until they are far away from the auction venue and reach a safe place, they cannot consider themselves safe.

There have been no few incidents of being robbed after coming out of the auction.

"That damned kid should be coming out soon, right?"

The grey-robed elder comes out of the Great Buddha Temple and does not leave immediately. Instead, he hides in a not so far place, his eyes firmly fixed on the entrance of the Great Buddha Temple, not missing any figure coming out.

He knows that Zhang Xian is not the kind of person to sneak away from another place. After several confrontations, he has figured out Zhang Xian’s character.

This damned kid is very arrogant, not the kind of timid or evasive coward.

"Hmph, kid, once you step out of the Great Buddha Temple, it will be your demise."

The grey-robed elder stands next to a tree, a sinister smile appearing on his thin, old face. Two rays of killing intent burst out from his small, slightly turbid eyes.

"Those guys, have they set their sights?"

An elder from the Broken Sword Sect walks out of the Great Buddha Temple, sweeps his gaze around the square, and turns to look at a middle-aged man.

"They’re already being watched." A middle-aged man replied with a cold laugh.

The elder of the Broken Sword Sect nodded and said, "Alright, let’s go first and find a place to start."

...

At the gate of the Great Buddha Temple, the people who came to the auction were almost gone, leaving behind some pilgrims coming and going.

The Kasaya monk personally sent Zhang Xian and his companions to the door, laughing, "We were intending to have you stay a few more days in our Great Buddha Temple. However, given that Lord Zhang has work to do, I will not insist on keeping you."

"No need."

Zhang Xian smiled and said, "When there is a chance later, let’s gather again."

"Alright, no problem."

The Kasaya monk made a gesture of invitation, "Lord Zhang, take care."

Zhang Xian nodded, turned around, and left.

The Kasaya monk stood at the door, watching Zhang Xian and his companions leaving until they were far away. He then turned and walked back inside the temple, a faint smile lingering on his face.

"Zhang Xian, not bad! This time you’ve built a relationship with the Great Buddha Temple. That’s a big backing!"

After leaving the Great Buddha Temple, Jing Yi was very happy. As Zhang Xian had established a relationship with the Great Buddha Temple and they had a good relationship with Zhang Xian, they would more or less receive the care of the Great Buddha Temple in the future.

"A backing?" Zhang Xian sneered, without offering any explanation.

The old priestess shook her head, "Miss, you’ve misunderstood, Zhang Xian probably doesn’t need the help of the Great Buddha Temple. On the contrary, it may be the Great Buddha Temple that needs Zhang Xian."

"Really?"

Jing Yi said, "Isn’t what the Great Buddha Temple looking at Zhang Xian’s Alchemy Technique? In terms of strength, no matter how powerful Zhang Xian is, he can’t compare with a behemoth like the Great Buddha Temple!"

"It’s hard to say with these things," the old priestess shook her head.

In terms of power, Zhang Xian indeed could not compare to the Great Buddha Temple, there wasn’t even a basis for comparison. After all, they were a longstanding major sect with a profound heritage.

However, Zhang Xian’s mystery should not be overlooked. This guy always managed to bring surprise.

"There seems to be a situation up ahead."

Suddenly, as Zhang Xian was about to speak, he stopped in his tracks, frowning softly at the scene ahead of him.
