King's Awakening

Chapter 704: Chapter 704: Ancient Pill!
 

Air Temple, auction!

White Mitchell in a cloak, swiftly found his place upon entering the auction.

Indeed, even the seats were priced at this auction.

The wealthy could sit in the VIP booths, witnessing the auction items up close and personal.

Even more affluent attendees could preview the auction treasures beforehand.

However, this generally only applied to the rarest of treasures.

After all, the value of such rare treasures was immense, no one dared to bid without verifying their authenticity.

If an item purchased did not live up to its price, it would result in a considerable loss, and might even tarnish the reputation of the Treasure Pavilion.

However, such a circumstance was evidently not slated for today.

Although the Treasure Pavilion has announced that a Thousand-Year Medicine King would be in the auction today.

Yet, this Thousand-Year Medicine King was clearly not exceptional enough to be designated as a ‘rare treasure’.

True rare treasures were akin to the Devouring Heavenly Furnace on White Mitchell’s body, or that incomplete Holy Artifact.

Although the Thousand-Year Medicine King had substantial value, it was short of qualifying as a rare treasure.

However, White Mitchell wasn’t particularly interested in this Thousand-Year Medicine King.

Not because he didn’t desire such a herb, but he was simply strapped for cash.

White Mitchell knew well that with his current financial means, he probably couldn’t even afford a leaf of the Thousand-Year Medicine King.

His purpose for coming here today was for other treasures of the auction.

To maximize the value with his limited financial power.

Not long after White Mitchell took his seat, an old man leisurely emerged into everyone’s sight.

Using a walking stick, the white-haired youthful-looking elder stood on the hastily erected stage, emanating an enigmatic aura.

Clearly, this elder was a representative of the Treasure Pavilion.

Just one glance, and White Mitchell knew that this elder was no ordinary individual.

His demeanor was steady, like a dragon’s breath, emanating a strong atmosphere with every move.

And this was just an ordinary member of the Treasure Pavilion.

One could imagine how powerful the true strongholds of the Treasure Pavilion were.

White Mitchell shortly took his gaze off the elder, without staring for too long.

The old man then showed a friendly smile and slowly began, “Ladies and Gentlemen, I am the host of this auction, you can call me Kai.”

Upon hearing the elder’s name, White Mitchell did not find it strange.

Although the elder was a resident of the Dragon Realm, his connection with the realm was minimal.

Like Lucy, he too belonged to the indigenous forces of the Forbidden Land, not participating in worldly disputes.

Simultaneously, without any delay after briefly introducing himself, Kai directly unveiled an item and placed it in front of the crowd.

It was an aged parchment, purportedly retrieved from the treasury within Emperor Qing’s Relics, evidently ancient.

At the time of excavation, there were ten pieces, but only one was being auctioned here; the others were elsewhere.

According to Kai’s introduction, this was a defensive treasure. By inputting spiritual power, it could be activated to resist the blow of a Foundation Establishment powerhouse.

However, it had its drawbacks. This talisman was a one-time use item, only able to be activated once.

Thus, this decreased its value.

Despite the value decrease, the bidding started at ten middle-grade Blood Stones, an expenditure beyond most people’s reach.

Ultimately, this talisman was won by Mr. Leon with a bid of thirty middle-grade Blood Stones.

As for White Mitchell, he made no move as this item was not of much use for him.

Right after the talisman ended up in Mr. Leon’s hands, the elder immediately revealed the next treasure and elaborated, “The next treasure is an Ancient Pill!”

An Ancient Pill!?
