Stefan added, “One Youth-Keeping Elixir is all you need-the effects don’t stack, so taking one of ten makes no difference. And I’m confident I can make it last over a decade.”

Megan’s eyes sparkled. “Fine by me.”

“Same here.” Nina nodded. “I’ll handle the bidding, then.”

She raised her paddle, pushing the bid to four hundred seventy million dollars.

The man in black raised once more.

“Four hundred eighty million.”

Nina didn’t hesitate, matching him instantly.

“Four hundred ninety million dollars.”

With her and Megan splitting the cost, she wasn’t worried about anyone outbidding them.

The man wasn’t about to back down, either. He raised the bid.

“Five hundred million dollars.”

Nina’s voice stayed steady.

“Five hundred ten million dollars.”

Every time the man bid, she raised without pause.

The audience was numb, mouths hanging open. Who’d have thought the Phoenix Blood Grass would fetch this kind of price? But women and their obsession with beauty-clearly, there was no limit.

Five hundred ten million dollars was the highest bid of the night so far. Sure, everyone here was wealthy, but not many had that kind of liquid cash lying around.

The man in black’s eyes narrowed. This had gone way beyond what he’d planned. There were other items he wanted later. Grinding his teeth, he backed down.

“Five hundred ten million dollars-going once, going twice… sold!”

Hazel’s gavel came down. Nina had won the Phoenix Blood Grass. Split between her and Megan, it was just over two hundred fifty million dollars each-a steal, really.

Stefan knew the real value. That Phoenix Blood Grass could yield at least six Youth-Keeping Elixirs. And each elixir was more potent than the raw herb. On the open market, one elixir could easily fetch five hundred million dollars. Six of them? Three billion dollars minimum.

At this price, securing the Phoenix Blood Grass was an absolute steal in terms of its true value.

The auction rolled on. Lot after lot came and went–martial arts manuals, internal cultivation techniques, and all manner of rare items. They drew fierce bidding as well.

One manual in particular-one that promised to guide a cultivator to the Transformed Sect Grandmaster level-had every major family salivating. Bidding was relentless.

In River City, any family with a Transformed Sect Grandmaster instantly rose in status. Right/now, only two top-tier families-the Lockes and the Lessings-had one. Others couldn’t even afford to sponsor one. even if they wanted to. The price tag was just too steep.

But a manual that could train a younger generation member to that level? That could transform a family’s fortunes. So the bidding war was intense. In the end, it sold for over three hundred million dollars.

Hazel’s voice lifted with excitement.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve now reached the second-to-last lot of the evening.”

Everyone sat up, alert. The second-to-last lot was up next, and they wondered what it could be. Staff brought out a tray holding five special transparent vials. Inside each vial were pills.
