The Supreme Wild Young Master-Chapter 586 They have gone crazy _1

Upon hearing this, the crowd was somewhat bewildered.

They had participated in numerous auction, but this was the first time they had heard of inviting outsiders to bid online.

At the same time, they were also very curious. The Ascension Pill was already quite extraordinary. What could possibly outshine it to act as the grand finale of this auction?

"What does this mean?" The old Taoist nun, Luo Shuining, and Jing Yi were all looking baffled.

Those attending the auction were all Ancient Martial Arts Practitioners. The organizers were also titans of the ancient martial arts world. Why would they invite outsiders via the internet?

Could those outsiders possibly take an interest in what the practitioners of ancient martial arts needed? This auction was not restricted to outsiders, but the items auctioned were meant for practitioners of ancient martial arts.

"Zhang Xian, can you guess what the grand finale item is today?" Jing Yi asked, looking at Zhang Xian.

Luo Shuining rolled her eyes and also looked at Zhang Xian. As if Zhang Xian was omnipotent.

"A pill." Zhang Xian replied with a smile.

The old Taoist nun asked Zhang Xian: "Are you guessing or...?"

"Guessing, what guess!"

Mo Shaoyun laughed and said: "The Ascension Pill is Zhang Xian’s, and the grand finale item is also Zhang Xian’s. Of course, he would know.

"What?" The old Taoist nun, Luo Shuining, and Jing Yi widened their eyes.

Already amazed that Zhang Xian’s pill was presented before the finale and possessing extraordinary effects, the grand finale was also Zhang Xian’s.

What kind of pill could outshine the Ascension Pill and cause the Big Buddha Temple to break the protocol to allow outsiders to participate in the auction?

"Why are you all looking at me?" Zhang Xian asked with a smile.

Jing Yi looked at Zhang Xian and laughed: "Could you give us a hint about what the grand finale item is this time! Anyway, it will be revealed soon, why not tell us in advance."

"You also know that it will be revealed soon, just wait a little longer." Zhang Xian didn’t seem to want to divulge.

Jing Yi rolled her eyes at Zhang Xian, turned her head away in annoyance.

Even at the last moment, this guy was still teasing.

"What’s going on?"

"The auctioneer is holding a small porcelain bottle. It should contain a pill, right? The Ascension Pill is already extraordinary. What pill could be superior to it?"

"This auction is a bit unexpected! There are even outsiders participating in the bidding through the internet."

The spectators in the audience were also buzzing with discussion.

The Ascension Pill had already brought the auction’s atmosphere to a climax, stirring up a thousand waves. And there was an even more amazing existence following the Ascension Pill, how could they not be expectant?

"What could the grand finale be?" An old man from the Broken Sword Sect murmured with a furrowed brow.

A middle-aged man chimed in: "The auctioneer’s small porcelain bottle probably contains a pill. I just don’t know what pill could be superior to the Ascension Pill."

"It’s a bit intriguing."

Another middle-aged man said: "The effect of the Ascension Pill is already extraordinary, will the one that comes out later guarantee a hundred percent chance of entering the Grandmaster level?"

"Impossible."

The senior leader said: "A hundred percent chance of entering the Innate level is already against nature, how could there be a pill that allows one to directly enter the Grandmaster level? Do you think it’s easy to break through to Grandmaster level?"

The middle-aged man smiled and did not speak anymore.

Even pills that allow one to step directly into the Innate level and have a chance to break through to the Grandmaster’s Secrets have come out, how is it impossible for a pill that directly steps into the Grandmaster’s level to exist?

Although directly stepping into the Grandmaster level is very difficult and practically impossible, it is not nonexistent. Between the Grandmaster and Innate, they are separated by only one barrier.

For practitioners, this barrier is difficult to overcome, but for alchemists, it is not particularly challenging. In the vast world, there are many magical natural treasures with varying effects.

As long as you have the pill formula and the natural treasures, an alchemist can help martial artists take a leap forward, taking them sky high.

"Hey, what are you still doing? Please continue with the auction?"

"Yes! Hurry up, let us see what it is that could outshine the Ascension Pill."

The crowd was getting impatient.

"Haha! Since everyone is eagerly wanting to know, I won’t keep you in suspense."

The auctioneer chuckled and said, "You all must be familiar with the phrase "When I am born, you are already old". For men, I won’t expound, but for women, beauty surpasses everything else, and a few fleeting decades of youthfulness are simply not enough, isn’t that right? Among us, there are many women who should have personal experience in the sorrow of gradually becoming old."

"Old man, why are you suddenly talking about this?" A woman asked.

Another woman retorted, "Exactly, you are yet to talk about the main issue, but you’re concerned about our looks instead. Can we change these things?"

Another woman chimed in, "Old man, aging is a natural law. Please get to the point instead of stalling."

"Who told you that you can’t change?"

The auctioneer laughed and said: "The next item to be auctioned can enable women to preserve their beauty until the day they turn to dust."

"What?"

The venue was in an uproar, especially among the women. They were all stunned as if turned to stone.

Was there really such an against-nature existence in this world?

"You all heard me correctly."

The auctioneer smiled and said: "What I am holding in my hand is a Beauty-Preserving Elixir, which can keep the user’s looks from naturally aging for two hundred years. Whether you can live past two hundred is not something I will comment on. If you can’t live to that age, how you looked when you took the pill is how you will look when you die, and it also has beauty-enhancing effects."

"Did... Did I hear that right?"

Jing Yi looked at Zhang Xian and asked: "The pill you concocted... Can it really preserve a person’s looks for two hundred years?"

Luo Shuining also looked at Zhang Xian. She then turned her gaze towards Mo Shaoyun, her eyes revealing an undisguised envy.

She had been confused earlier. It was one thing for Mo Shaoyun to have a flawless appearance, but why was her skin also perfect and flawless, like a piece of incredibly delicate artwork?

At this moment, she finally understood. Mo Shaoyun must have consumed the Beauty-Preserving Elixir, which implied that Mo Shaoyun would retain her current looks for two hundred years.

"You’ve taken the Beauty-Preserving Elixir, haven’t you?" the old nun asked Mo Shaoyun.

Jing Yi also turned her head, her eyes gleaming.

"Indeed, I have."

Mo Shaoyun nodded and said, "If you desire it, you can bid for the elixir. Once split in half, it can maintain youth for a hundred years."

Jing Yi and Luo Shuining responded with bitter smiles.

They could only watch the Ascension Pill, let alone this Beauty-Preserving Elixir.

In the world of the ancient martial arts, the Beauty-Preserving Elixir may not hold much appeal for men and has no practical use, but women would be driven wild by it. More importantly, not only people present at the auction participated, but also wealthy tycoons outside. Needless to say, these business magnates were undoubtedly more affluent.

To these tycoons, the idea of an ageless wife also held substantial allure, for it was a matter of prestige.

Zhang Xian glanced at Jing Yi and Luo Shuining before looking down without uttering a word.

Over there, an elder from the Broken Sword Sect intensely looked at the auction stage, particularly at the small porcelain bottle in the auctioneer’s hand, his eyes showing a hint of indecisiveness.

He never expected that the highlight of the auction would be a Beauty-Preserving Elixir.

He had never seen nor heard of it before, but its effects seemed quite miraculous. However, it was of no use to the Broken Sword Sect.

"Why would it be something like this?"

The thoughts of this elder in grey robes were similar to those of the elder from the Broken Sword Sect. He was merely curious about this Beauty-Preserving Elixir, with no particular interest in it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the highlight item of the auction, this Beauty-Preserving Elixir, just like the Ascension Pill from earlier, comes with a guarantee from the Grand Buddha Temple. However, as it is the climax item, it wouldn’t have a low price. The starting price of this Beauty-Preserving Elixir is three billion, with each increment no less than fifty million," the auctioneer said, his hands resting on the table, with a smile, "Now, I declare that the bidding for the Beauty-Preserving Elixir officially begins."

"I bid ten billion..."

A lady stood up, raising the price directly to ten billion.

"Eleven billion."

"I bid twelve billion."

The price soared, and the climb was incredibly steep. It was going up by billions at a time, a remarkably hot trend.

However, the large screen behind the auctioneer showed no movement, as if the wealthy tycoons bidding from the outside world ceased to exist.

The auctioneer turned around for a glance, not worried at all.

Those who were invited by the Grand Buddha Temple were not ordinary people. These influential figures would not bid right away. Only when the final price was about to be set would they make their move.

"What’s going on?" Zhang Xian was shocked when he heard the starting bid.

He clearly remembered that the starting bid he had called earlier was the same as that of the Ascension Pill. Why did it suddenly jump to three billion? And each increment was no less than fifty million...

"Zhang Xian, when did you change the price?" asked Mo Shaoyun.

Mo Shaoyun was present when Zhang Xian applied for the auction. She knew that the starting price was one billion, with each increase no less than ten million.

"I did not alter the price. The Grand Buddha Temple did."

Zhang Xian laughed and said, "Although I am quite vexed that the Grand Buddha Temple arbitrarily changed the price, I am satisfied with the outcome. The final price of the Beauty-Preserving Elixir will definitely exceed our expectations."

"Yes indeed." Mo Shaoyun nodded.

As far as the price was concerned, the base price of three billion wasn’t high. The final price of the Beauty-Preserving Elixir would certainly not be this low. An increase of fifty million each time, though, was quite a steep climb.

"Seventeen billion..."

"Eighteen billion..."

"Twenty billion..."

The price kept on escalating further.

Zhang Xian watched the overly excited women below, feeling rather perplexed.

The price of the Ascension Pill had been merely fifteen billion earlier, so why was the price of the Beauty-Preserving Elixir so high? Did these women suddenly become affluent?

"Do they actually have this much money?" Mo Shaoyun also found it confusing.

The old nun chuckled as she said, "I don’t know if they have the money or not, but what is certain is that they’ve gone mad. What this means is that the price they’re bidding is their all-out attempt at scraping together money. As for how they’re going to do it, I have no idea."

"Is that even possible?"

Zhang Xian and Mo Shaoyun exchanged glances, both visibly stunned.

PS: Dear readers, I apologize for the recent inconsistent updates. Let me explain further.

This novel, "Mad Youth," began in late April. It’s now reached 1.8 million words. Even if we account for the recent slow updates, "Mad Youth" still averages about 300,000 words monthly.

I understand that this pace isn’t considered fast on this platform, but it certainly isn’t slow either.

From the start till now, I’ve never missed an update, even in busy times. Always ensuring at least one Chapter is posted so that readers aren’t kept waiting.

Naturally, I’m not complaining. It’s just that recently I genuinely haven’t had time to write, and I hope you’ll understand.

I know that most of my lovely readers are reasonable and understand that others might have constraints. There are just a few who lack manners and fill the comment section with vitriol, as if the world doesn’t already know how disgusting their mouths are or how debased their characters.

For those who gladly make a spectacle of themselves, I won’t say much. I can only hope that those who understand me will continue to show their unwavering support.

Thank you!
