44: Chapter 44 Pill Auction

The next morning, a key member of the Black Dragon Society drove to Lishui Garden and stopped in front of Xiao Yuchen's villa.

This person was the driver Li Xin had arranged to pick up Xiao Yuxin for school; Xiao Yuchen had already spoken to his younger sister about this last night.

Xiao Yuxin didn't say much about it. She knew her brother was usually very busy and still had to pick her up from school on time every day. She had long since asked to take the bus or a taxi herself, but her brother simply wouldn't allow it.

Actually, it was normal for Xiao Yuchen to have such worries. He had enemies outside, and his younger sister was too beautiful and easily targeted, so no matter how busy Xiao Yuchen was, he would always pick up and drop off his sister to school on time.

When the driver saw Xiao Yuchen, he quickly got out of the car to greet him. The God of Worlds was his idol, and being able to pick up his idol's younger sister for school was something he had dreamed of.

Moreover, the God of Worlds' younger sister was so beautiful; even if he didn't dare to have any inappropriate thoughts, just admiring her was good enough. To get this job, he had stood out from dozens of people and won through a martial arts competition.

"Yuxin, from now on, he will be your dedicated driver. With the strength of a Late Stage Internal Strength expert, he is definitely considered an expert in Jiangcheng outside of the Four Great Families. Plus, there are two other experts at school who will also protect your safety."

Xiao Yuxin knew her brother was worried about her. Having such a brother, she was truly content.

"Brother, don't worry. I'm not some wealthy tycoon in Jiangcheng; nobody would be bored enough to trouble me."

Xiao Yuxin didn't reject Xiao Yuchen's kindness so as not to worry him, got in the car, and left.

Seeing his sister drive away, Xiao Yuchen also got into his Lamborghini and headed straight for the Medicinal Pill Auction.

Although many wealthy people in Jiangcheng didn't believe the Zhou Family could produce Medicinal Pills, the reputation of the Four Great Families was too loud. Even if the Medicinal Pill Auction was fake, they still had to come and watch, because being invited by the Zhou Family was an honor for them.

When Xiao Yuchen arrived at the auction venue, there were already many people inside. However, because the auction hadn't started yet, all the guests who came were gathered in the banquet hall, where the Zhou Family had carefully prepared food and drinks.

Xiao Yuchen had specifically instructed the Zhou Family to notify the Li Family. Of course, even if Xiao Yuchen hadn't said anything, the Zhou Family would have notified them; after all, the Li Family was considered a prestigious Family in Jiangcheng, second only to the Four Great Families.

However, Xiao Yuchen looked around the venue but didn't see anyone from the Li Family. With no other choice, Xiao Yuchen went directly to the inner hall; there were some things he still needed to discuss with Zhou Tiancheng.

Just as Xiao Yuchen walked into the inner hall, Li Yiran arrived at the auction venue with a few bodyguards from the Li Family.

She hadn't seen Xiao Yuchen for several days, so she had specially dressed up carefully before coming out this morning, wasting some time.

After arriving at the main hall, Li Yiran was also looking for Xiao Yuchen's figure, but after looking around, she didn't see Xiao Yuchen.

To surprise Xiao Yuchen, she didn't call him. She found a seat in the main hall and waited silently.

Along the way, many young men were attracted by Li Yiran's beauty and came to strike up a conversation, but they were all politely rejected by Li Yiran. Now, apart from Xiao Yuchen, she couldn't raise the slightest interest in other boys.

Another half hour passed, and the auction was finally about to begin. Everyone left the banquet hall and walked into the auction hall next door.

When everyone sat down, a beautiful etiquette lady walked onto the stage and gave a detailed introduction to the Medicinal Pills to be auctioned today.

When the Zhou Family sent out the invitations, they only mentioned the names of a few Medicinal Pills and highlighted the beauty pill, but they didn't mention the effects of the other Medicinal Pills at all.

So when everyone heard the etiquette lady introduce the effects of the body tempering pill, breakthrough pill, and youth-preserving pill, they all opened their mouths in surprise.

However, although they were shocked in their hearts, they still retained their reason. In their view, the Zhou Family must have exaggerated the effects of the Medicinal Pills, especially the youth-preserving pill.

For the heads of those great families, recovering their youth and extending their lives by a hundred years was simply a fatal temptation. As long as they could get one, it wouldn't matter if they went bankrupt.

After all, the body is the capital of revolution; if they were given another hundred years, they could create even more wealth.

"We don't believe anyone can perform Alchemy, and we don't believe the effects of those Medicinal Pills, unless you can prove it."

"That's right, you must prove it first, otherwise the people here won't buy it."

Facing everyone's questioning, the etiquette lady didn't seem to be panicked at all. This was all within expectations, and the Zhou Family had already thought of a countermeasure.

"Everyone, please be quiet. As one of the Four Great Families, our Zhou Family naturally wouldn't speak nonsense. However, since everyone wants proof, we naturally won't refuse. Now, we invite the Zhou Family's Alchemist and the Medicinal Pill tester to the stage. Everyone, please welcome them."

Under the spotlight, Zhou Tiancheng led his wife, Julie, onto the auction stage.

Everyone definitely recognized the head of the Zhou Family, but no one expected that the head of the Zhou Family would lead his wife onto the stage. Could it be that the Medicinal Pills were refined by the head of the Zhou Family?

Seeing the commotion below the stage, Zhou Tiancheng took the microphone from the etiquette lady and signaled everyone to be quiet.

The people present naturally didn't dare not to give Zhou Tiancheng Face, and it instantly became quiet.

"You all might be guessing why my wife and I came on stage. To verify the miraculous effects of the youth-preserving pill, my wife and I will test the pill in public."

"After we take the youth-preserving pill, you will know whether we have falsely advertised it. As for the Zhou Family's Alchemist, you will see them in a moment."

To let everyone see clearly, the cameraman pointed the lens directly at Zhou Tiancheng and Julie, and the recorded video was transmitted in real-time to the big screen behind them.

Everything was ready. Zhou Tiancheng took a jade bottle out of his clothes, poured out two youth-preserving pills from it, and then handed one of them to his wife.

Looking at the youth-preserving pill in his hand, Zhou Tiancheng's hands trembled with excitement. As long as he took this Medicinal Pill, he could live another life. He had waited for this day for a long time, and now it was finally about to be realized.

The people under the stage were also staring intently at the big screen. The head of the Zhou Family and his wife were testing the medicine on the spot; this was not something everyone had the chance to see.

Exchanging a look with his wife, the two simultaneously stuffed the youth-preserving pills into their mouths. At the same time, two staff members brought up two basins of clean water, which were for cleaning the Impurities off their Faces in a moment. As for the Impurities on their bodies, they could only be dealt with after going off stage.

The Medicinal Pill melted as soon as it entered their mouths. Seeing that the two really ate the Medicinal Pill, the people below the stage watched this scene with even more curiosity. They also wanted to know whether the head of the Zhou Family and his wife could really become younger.

Time passed bit by bit, and everyone continued to stare intently at the big screen, worried about missing any details.

"It seems there's no movement. Could this youth-preserving pill be fake?"

"That shouldn't be, right? The head of the Zhou Family tested the medicine himself; it shouldn't be fake, right? Otherwise, wouldn't that be a slap in the Face on the spot?"

"Exactly, even if the Medicinal Pill's effect is miraculous, it needs to react for a while, otherwise wouldn't it become a transformation technique?"
