Chapter 24

In the Burj Al Arab hotel, Prince Alhad raised the bidding price to 1.7 billion US dollars with a blank expression. For him, such an amount was still acceptable.

After receiving his father's approval, Parker of the Rockefeller family unhesitatingly raised the bidding price to 2 billion US dollars.

Regardless of the effect of the Boundless Golden Pill in curing all terminal illnesses, just the extension of life by twenty years was worth this price.

"Is the head of the Rockefeller family's life not worth 100 million US dollars a year?"

At the headquarters of the Sumitomo Zaibatsu, Sumitomo Eita gave up on the bidding and then made a phone call. Moments later, a shadow emerged from a corner of the room, dressed in a standard ninja outfit.

"Eita-kun, what do you need?"

"I want to meet the leader of your Iga clan. Please arrange it for me."

In the next moment, the shadow disappeared silently from the closed room, as if it had never been there.

Inside the family castle of the Rothschild family, Yasin and Lin stood obediently behind their father, nervously watching the bidding price on the large screen.

"It's already 2 billion US dollars!" Lin exclaimed.

"Obviously, there are more rich people in this world than we imagined," Yasin shrugged indifferently.

The current head of the Rothschild family, Nock, frowned and said, "I have reason to believe that there are many in this world who can match the Rothschild family in wealth, but I also believe that, on an equal wealth basis, no one needs this life-extending magical drug more than the Rothschild family."

As he spoke, Nock instantly raised the bidding price to 3 billion US dollars, increasing it by 50%.

"It's time to scare off some people."

In the auction hall, even with Xu Tianyang's composure, he was genuinely startled by the bidding price that had climbed to 3 billion US dollars.

"Boss, it seems I just ate up 3 billion US dollars in one go!"

Su Yang laughed heartily and said, "If necessary, even if you drink the whole bottle, it wouldn't be a big deal."

For his loyal subordinates, Su Yang was never stingy. This was one of the reasons why, after nine transformations and rebirths, Su Yang could accumulate vast wealth and connections.

Treating those around him well, although Su Yang had suffered significant losses a few times because of this, it was his nature, and he had never thought of changing this habit.

To Su Yang, 3 billion US dollars was just a number with no significant meaning, nor was it the goal of auctioning the Boundless Golden Pill.

The goal was to make those who dared to show off in front of his old subordinates suffer a heavy loss. This was what Su Yang aimed to achieve by auctioning the Boundless Golden Pill.

Su Yang's thoughts in this life were very simple: to be happy, to take care of every person he cared about, to enjoy life, and to live a fulfilling life, that's all.

When the bidding price for the Boundless Golden Pill reached 3 billion US dollars, Ji Si's face in the meeting room turned grim, but she still gritted her teeth and refreshed the bid.

Song Huaiming leaned back in his chair with a smile, "There are only three of us left in the competition, including you. It seems we are about to see the final result."

In the Burj Al Arab hotel, Prince Alhad hesitated for a long time before finally refreshing the bid.

"3.5 billion US dollars, this is all the liquid funds I can currently use..."

In the Rothschild family castle, Yasin looked distressed and said, "Father, it seems there are others among the opponents who share your thoughts."

As the bidding approached the final stage, Nock remained calm and waved his hand, "Yasin, think about how much our family's power and wealth would increase if your grandfather had an additional twenty years of life."

Yasin's eyes sparkled with understanding, "We must win the bid, even if it means depleting the last dollar of the family's liquid funds."

"Exactly."

Nock unhesitatingly refreshed the bid again, setting a price that left his remaining two competitors powerless.

"6 billion US dollars!"

"Good heavens, a madman, absolutely a madman, that's enough to buy a small country."

"This is what rich people do, truly a terrifying move."

"If it were me, I would do the same, but my financial resources are limited."

"It seems I have witnessed an unprecedented auction. For a hundred years or more, no auction item in the world will reach such an astronomical price."

When the auctioneer's hammer fell, the auction hall erupted in astonishment. The final price of 6 billion US dollars made many of the billionaire spectators realize for the first time that they might just be "poor" people.

On the second floor of the auction hall, Li Zixin wrinkled her nose and muttered, "I never thought there would be such a life-saving and bone-reviving pill in the world. I've seen the Boundless Golden Pill mentioned in the 'Tianmo Suibi,' but I never thought it would appear in this era."

The 'Tianmo Suibi' and the first eight levels of the 'Tianmo Jue' cultivation method are the family treasures passed down for eight hundred years by the Li family. The former details the thousand-year secrets of the demon sect, including a story of a demon sect predecessor who, in his later years, became obsessed with alchemy. He spent thirty years traveling across the land, refining a batch of Boundless Golden Pills, and once used one to save the life of the demon sect's leader.

If it weren't for the help of this demon sect predecessor who refined the Boundless Golden Pill, the demon sect's lineage might not have continued to this day. In a sense, he is a great benefactor to all members of the demon sect.

Loyalty Uncle reminded, "Miss, since the Boundless Golden Pill has appeared in this era, we might as well investigate. If we can find something, the family head will certainly praise you."

"That's true. Father always complains that I'm this and that, and makes me worry. Hmph, now I'll show him what I'm capable of."

Li Zixin playfully stuck out her tongue and affirmed, "Loyalty Uncle, the Boundless Golden Pill is consigned by Xu Tianyang. Let's start the investigation with him. We'll stay in Shanghai for now."

As the true owner and creator of the Boundless Golden Pill, Su Yang had already left the auction hall before the auction ended.

He was not interested in how much the Boundless Golden Pill was auctioned for, only that the bet between Xu Tianyang and the annoying fat man ended in victory, which was enough.

Since Xu Tianyang still had to handle various post-auction procedures, Su Yang left alone. Seeing that it was still early, he took a taxi to school.

Unexpectedly, Li Zixin, who was investigating Xu Tianyang with Loyalty Uncle, followed Su Yang out of the auction hall. This flirtatious little girl was quite pleased with herself.

"This kid and Old Xu are clearly a team, and he seems to have a high status. Following him might bring some unexpected surprises."

The little girl didn't realize that her so-called tracking was just a one-sided affair. Su Yang had already sensed her presence through his qi before she left the auction hall, but he didn't expose her.

When Su Yang arrived at the school, it was almost time for the class to end. His three subordinates, seeing Su Yang, enthusiastically welcomed him, completely ignoring the classroom rules.

The teacher, seeing this, was about to scold them but changed his mind upon seeing Su Yang. After all, Su Yang was someone the principal had specifically instructed to ignore all rule violations, and by extension, Ling Jianghai and the others also benefited from this.

"Boss, you came at the right time. Class is about to end, and Zhao Yar is going to the taekwondo gym. I heard that a Korean taekwondo master will be there today," Cao Kai said enthusiastically.

"Ha, I've been looking forward to this for a long time. With our boss's skills, it'll be a piece of cake. How about a legendary challenge to the gym? That would be exciting," Gao Ming said, rubbing his hands together.

Ling Jianghai kicked Gao Ming's fat butt and said sternly, "Gao Ming, are you trying to get us killed? Our boss is only going to the gym to get closer to Zhao Yar. Challenging the gym is the worst idea."

Su Yang, clearly exasperated by the three clowns, touched his nose and said, "Listen up, I'm making a final, serious statement: I have no impure intentions toward Zhao Yar. If you do this again, I'll throw you off the roof."

Ling Jianghai, hearing this, shrank back, realizing he had misjudged the situation.

The bell rang on time, and Su Yang chatted with his three subordinates for a moment before heading toward the buildings at the back of the school, which included the basketball gym, swimming pool, karate gym, taekwondo gym, and fitness center. Only a school with endless funds like this one would have such comprehensive facilities in the prime location of downtown Shanghai.

Unlike usual, today was the open day of the taekwondo gym, so students could enter freely. This was because a Korean sixth-degree black belt master was coming to give on-site guidance, and the gym owner wanted to use this opportunity to promote and attract more students.

After all, under the contract system, each taekwondo gym student pays a substantial sponsorship fee annually, and the number of students directly affects the gym owner's economic benefits.

Since Su Yang and his group arrived late, the seats on the second-floor stands were already full, so they had to go to the sides of the gym.

Even the sides of the gym were already crowded with many students, mostly girls.

"A bunch of crazy women, they're not even planning to join the taekwondo gym, yet they're taking up so many observation seats," Gao Ming grumbled.

Ling Jianghai laughed, "Gao Ming, are you just jealous? They're all here for the strong and handsome Korean sixth-degree black belt master. It's understandable to be a bit infatuated."

Cao Kai, without any sense of propriety, retorted, "Fatso, we didn't plan to join either. You're insulting us and the boss."

Su Yang ignored the three clowns and scanned the area, focusing on Zhao Yar, who was doing warm-up exercises on the side of the gym.

"My dear granddaughter, instead of learning my incredible skills, you're learning these superficial moves from Koreans. It seems I need to give you a lesson to show you the depth and breadth of Chinese martial arts."
