Chapter 78

The system prompt indicated that the transaction was successful.

Wang Tian closed the dialog box and checked his inventory, where he indeed found some additional items. Three yellow-orange gourds, each labeled with different names: Pigu Pill (Fasting Pill), Zhujidan (Foundation Building Pill), and Yanian Yishou Pill (Longevity Pill). The gourd containing the Yanian Yishou Pill was noticeably larger. Lin Feng had previously lived on Earth, so the labels were in Chinese, showing that he had thought things through quite carefully.

In addition to the three bottles of pills, there were ten pet eggs, each as large as a legendary dinosaur egg. When Wang Tian focused his mind on them, the system displayed that they were all level 0 pet eggs, without revealing what kind of pets were inside.

Wang Tian took out the pills and decided to try the three types of pills himself first. He would deal with the pet hatching later. These were pills from the Immortal Realm; even if they didn't work, they wouldn't harm his body. He wasn't afraid of poisoning, as the system had antidotes.

First, he took out the gourd containing the Pigu Pill and poured one pill into his hand. The pill was entirely white, very beautiful, and emitted a fragrant aroma. Without hesitation, Wang Tian popped it into his mouth.

Five seconds later, he felt a warm force emanate from his stomach, spreading throughout his body. He began to feel hot all over, then started sweating profusely, and the sweat had a foul smell.

I need to take a shower!

Wang Tian couldn't stand the smell anymore, so he opened the door and rushed into the bathroom.

The two girls had already gone to bed, or they would have been shocked to see Wang Tian in such a state.

He quickly stripped off his clothes, turned on the shower, and washed himself thoroughly. It felt amazing! Wang Tian felt a sense of unparalleled comfort, as if all his pores had opened up. When he looked at the water, it was tinged with black. The Pigu Pill had indeed removed the impurities from his body.

Moreover, Lin Feng had said that it could ensure he wouldn't get sick for a year, which seemed to be true. With the impurities removed, it would be strange if he did get sick.

If he were to sell these pills, they would definitely fetch a high price.

After washing up, Wang Tian dressed and returned to his room. He then took out the Zhujidan and swallowed one.

" Ding, "

Congratulations, player, for consuming a special pill. Strength permanently increased by 1! ? What a great thing! Wang Tian was thrilled. If he ate a few hundred, wouldn't he be able to understand the Tiger Form Fist Intent? However, according to Lin Feng, the Zhujidan wasn't that easy to refine.

He decided to keep these 30 Zhujidan for himself and not sell them.

He then put all 30 Zhujidan in his mouth, chewing them like candy. Before long, he had finished them all and checked his attributes. His strength had indeed increased by 30 points.

Wang Tian didn't take the Yanian Yishou Pill, as it would increase his lifespan, and the effect wouldn't be noticeable. However, based on the results of the other two pills, he believed the Yanian Yishou Pill would definitely work.

After all this, Wang Tian was tired, so he turned off the game system and went to sleep.

The next morning, Wang Tian woke up at seven o'clock as usual.

He started preparing breakfast. Previously, he had made it for two people, but now with Mo Zigui, he made it for three. After finishing the breakfast, he knocked on their doors and waited at the dining table.

The two girls emerged, went to the bathroom to wash their faces and brush their teeth, and then they all ate together. After breakfast, the two girls went to school together.

Mo Zigui's school issue had been resolved. Leng Xinxin's father had taken care of it with just a word. Leng Xinxin had even called to let Wang Tian choose any school in Jianghuai City, so he chose No. 16 High School, the same school as Wang Yu. This way, the two girls would have company. Based on Mo Zigui's age, she was placed in the first year of junior high school.

Wang Tian also planned to go to No. 7 High School. He suddenly thought that since his house was going to be demolished, why not auction off these two types of pills to earn some money to buy a new house? Several nearby houses had already been demolished, and it wouldn't be long before it was his turn. It was better to take the initiative rather than be caught off guard.

Where could he auction them? Regular auction houses wouldn't accept items like the Pigu Pill and Yanian Yishou Pill, and if he went there, he would be considered a fool. Regular auction houses wouldn't work; he needed to go to an underground auction house.

These underground auction houses would accept and auction anything, and they often auctioned special items, such as amulets blessed by certain wizards, statues of evil-averting beasts for home protection, and night pots used by Yang Guifei. Some people might doubt whether these auction houses would go out of business due to a lack of customers, but in fact, they were very successful.

The customers who bought these items were mostly high-ranking officials and successful businessmen. The higher their position and the more successful they were, the more they believed in these intangible things. The reason was simple: they feared death the most. Everyone wanted to enjoy a good life for as long as possible, but life, aging, illness, and death were not within their control, so they placed their hopes on these items.

There was a report that a certain "master" had deceived many high-ranking officials and wealthy people with the skill of turning a fire basin into a snake, swindling over a hundred million yuan. Some might call these deceived people foolish, but in reality, they were not. Could someone who had succeeded in the political arena be foolish? Could someone who had excelled in the business world, which is like a battlefield, be unintelligent?

These so-called "masters" couldn't fool these people with their small tricks, so why did they willingly hand over large sums of money? It was because they understood a simple truth: money, beyond a certain amount, was just a symbol and of no use, so it was better to buy a "hope" for themselves.

Even emperors like Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han pursued immortality, so how much more would ordinary people?

Therefore, such auction houses existed in almost every major city, and their managers usually had powerful backgrounds.

However, Wang Tian didn't plan to auction the items in Jianghuai City; he planned to go to the capital! Pills like the Pigu Pill and Yanian Yishou Pill could only realize their true value in the underground auction house in the capital.

Wang Tian searched for the address of the underground auction house in the capital online, memorized it, and prepared to set off.

He originally planned to fly to the capital, but as he was leaving his house, he suddenly remembered that he was a player in the game. Did he need to fly to another city? Didn't the Yuanbao Mall have city teleportation scrolls? He could just buy and use one.

He opened the Yuanbao Mall and bought a bundle of city teleportation scrolls for 1 yuanbao. He opened one in his inventory, focused his mind, and used the city teleportation scroll. On his game panel, a map of China appeared.

The major cities were clearly visible. Wang Tian clicked on the capital.

He felt a flash before his eyes, and the familiar scenery in front of his house disappeared. It felt as if he was being pulled into a black hole and entering a spatial tunnel. When he regained his senses, the scenery in front of him had changed. He was now in a secluded corner of the West Railway Station in the capital. The city teleportation scroll was indeed very useful. After the auction, he could use a return scroll to go back home directly.

As he turned the corner, he saw the bustling scene of the capital.
