The greatest hope of Fu Yaozi was to spend as few Spirit Stones as possible to win the bid for a Foundation Establishment Pill. That way, the remaining Spirit Stones would be his, and combined with his modest savings, he might be able to buy a Spiritual Artifact for self-protection.
"This is the first of five Foundation Establishment Pills!"
At the center of the auction hall, Duan Bingxu had already unveiled the first Foundation Establishment Pill and said loudly:
"The starting price is twenty thousand Spirit Stones, with each increment starting at five hundred Spirit Stones!"
As soon as his voice fell:
"Thirty thousand Spirit Stones!"
"Thirty-two thousand!"
"I'll offer thirty-five thousand!"
"Is everyone trying to fish for a bargain? I'll offer forty-five thousand!"
"Fifty thousand! I offer fifty thousand Spirit Stones..."
In just two to three moments, the price of the first Foundation Establishment Pill surged to a terrifying sixty thousand Spirit Stones.
