"This is a set of medications, produced by the Long Void Water Clan."
The first auction item immediately invigorated everyone.
Pao Bai opened the exquisite metallic box on the platform, revealing four small vials inside.
"From first-tier to fourth-tier, these medications crafted by the Long Void Water Clan cover a wide range of treatments, from external injuries to internal ailments, as well as negative states and complex diseases. The first-tier medications cost twenty units, meant for external injuries; the second-tier costs fifteen units, for internal injuries; the third-tier costs ten units, effective for both internal and external injuries, and can also eliminate most recorded toxins. The fourth-tier medications are five units, capable of reconnecting severed limbs, and can do so five times faster than traditional surgical recovery, while ensuring perfect restoration."
As Pao Bai finished speaking, a slight gasp echoed through the crowd.
In fact, even during the prosperous times of the All Races of the Universe, fourth-tier medications from the Long Void Water Clan were already rare. Now, with their decline, even first-tier medications were scarce, and most people relied on drugs manufactured by other races or pharmacists.
However, Long Void Water Clan's medications were still slightly superior, as they contained the power of Sacred Talismans, which is primordial power of the universe. Consuming medications imbued with this power allowed for an almost perfect integration from absorption to efficacy.
A complete set of medications, totaling fifty units, with a variety of options, ensured that any injury could be treated adequately. It could be said that the first auction item had stirred everyone’s desire to purchase.
"The starting bid is five hundred years gold."
As Pao Bai's words fell, surprisingly… not a single person made a bid.
Pao Bai frowned, scanning the crowd, noticing many faces wearing a half-smile expression. He had a rough idea of what was going on but remained calm, continuing, "This starting price is quite low. Without discussing the market price, simply considering the opportunity to acquire so many medications of different tiers at once is rare."
"Five hundred."
Just as Pao Bai finished speaking, a voice started the bidding, sounding somewhat lazy, without adding even a single unit. The starting price was five hundred, and that was all they offered.
Pao Bai looked over and recognized it was a representative from the Pai Jia Clan, a large family from the neighboring city of Ken City, likely a high-ranking member of the cabinet.
At that moment, the representative glanced around, smiling and waving at several people.
A gleam sparkled in Pao Bai's eyes.
It was clear that the Star-Eye Clan was being bullied.
These people had likely conspired beforehand, agreeing not to raise the price, allowing all items auctioned by the Star-Eye Clan today to be sold at the starting price.
In auctions, starting bids are usually slightly lower than market prices; if all items were sold at such prices, it would undoubtedly lead to significant losses for the Star-Eye Clan.
"One thousand!"
Just as these conspirators waited to see the Star-Eye Clan's misfortune, a voice rang out from a corner of the room.
The group collectively turned to see who had made the call. If it was someone from the Star-Eye Clan, then they had broken the rules, and they would need to be taught a lesson.
However, upon seeing the face of the bidder, they were left speechless, for it was a recognizably typical Baiyejie person.
Upstairs at the auction, Ye Zhongming watched the live broadcast on the light barrier while raising his wine glass, gesturing to the person beside him, "I still need to thank you for your help."
Jie Su picked up his glass to clink with his and smiled, "Since they can conspire, we must also be allowed to raise the price. Strictly speaking, they broke the rules; we merely utilized the existing ones."
"But we need the strength and courage to assist us in doing so," Ye Zhongming sighed. While watching the bidding on the light barrier already reach twelve hundred years gold for the medications, he knew that the Baiyejie people, being affiliated with the Su Clan, were in a position of strength; they feared neither the Pai Jia Clan nor any race outside of the super clans.
