Chapter: 1436
"The next item is from Barbara Herrera of the Jenkins family." The host suddenly called name of the Jenkins family.
Barbara smiled and understood that it was time for her to shine. It wasn't part of the program to have representatives of the ancient clans speak on stage. But if someone bribed the host, it would be a different story.
The spotlight immediately focused on Barbara. She seemed to transform into an international superstar as she gracefully stood up. Everyone's eyes were trained on her as she strutted towards the stage.
Although it was a bit over the top, the host even made arrangements for her to walk with special sound effects.
As the grand music blasted through the speakers, Barbara's performance felt more and more strange.
"Good evening, distinguished guests and organizers. I'm Barbara Herrera, a pill alchemist from the Jenkins family,” Barbara announced, her voice sounding sweet yet professional.
Even Maria couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in surprise. It seemed that Barbara had been preparing for this moment for quite a while now She even trained in public speaking.
As her gaze swept across the crowd, Barbara continued, “On behalf of the Jenkins family, I've brought this item for the auction. In fact, I doubt this item needs an introduction since I‘m sure everyone in this room is very familiar with it. It's the formula of Sun Pill, a third-grade pill.”
Hearing this, the ancient martial clans all collectively gasped in shock, whether or not they were familiar with the Jenkins family.
The elixir formula of third-grade pills? Barbara didn't bother to go into detail with her item, unlike the
Bryant family, who had just presented a grade-four treasure.
However, just like the profession of pill alchemist, the elixir formula had always been more precious than other items in the ancient martial arts world!
People familiar with the Jenkins family also knew that even though the Sun Pill was only of the third-grade level, it had been one of the clan's core investments over the past two decades.
In addition, they were also curious. They had heard that the Jenkins family had invested in a pill alchemist whose surname was Acosta with a very high salary since the Sun Pill was his specialty.
Could it be possible that the Jenkins family had somehow convinced that skilled man to give up the elixir formula of the Sun Pill?
Anyway, the key point was that the Jenkins family just donated a third-grade elixir formula.
It was so generous of them that it almost sounded too good to be true!
In the private room, Fred also smiled and said, "Well, since the Jenkins family is that generous, we can give them two or three spots."
The elixir formula was like a gold mine. It had an endless development value. Although the third-grade Sun Pill wasn't an extraordinary pill, the profit that it would earn in the Long term was still substantial.
Fred said that the Jenkins family was generous enough to warrant two or three spots, which meant that the transaction price for that formula had to at Least be two hundred million or more.
Of course, even if the transaction price fell below two hundred million, Fred had the power to grant the Jenkins family two or three spots if he wanted to.
After all, determining the number of spots based on the auction's final price was more of an unwritten understanding that had become the norm over time. The Pill Alchemist Association had never made it an official rule. The representatives sent by the association had great autonomy, and could be flexible with their decisions.
Albert sighed and remarked inwardly, have to Let Fred decide everything...
I'm just a useless sidekick. I
