"Honey, didn't you say that Austin'sworth was just about several million?
How could he afford to offer two billion? Does it mean that he's that rich?"
Alice asked the stout man with both her voice and face full of shock and disbelief.
The man's face turned dark red. As he ignored Alice, he stared at Austin with vicious eyes.
All the people who knew martial arts turned and looked at Austin in astonishment.
Although each of them was considered to be very rich, only a few of them could afford to bid a sum of two billion at once.
That was why Austin instantly becthe focus of attention in the crowd.
"Sir, we are from the Buddhist Sect, and we are here to offer a trade. We want your Sarira in exchange for a Life-prolonging Pill.
How does that sound?"
a monk seated in the corner of the room suddenly spoke loudly to th host of the auction.
"Oh my gosh!"
"A Life-prolonging Pill?!"
Murmurs could be heard all over the place as the martial artists held their breaths in utter shock.
The Life-prolonging Pill from the Buddhist Sect was quite famous especially in the martial arts world.
People who were going to die a natural death could live another ten years once they took the pill.
It indeed had the function of lengthening one's longevity.
There were even sextremely sick people who were able to survive ten years after consuming the pill.
"Well... Letdiscuss this first with the owner of the Sarira before | can give you an answer,"
the auctioneer of the Cassede company said hesitantly.
As an experienced auctioneer, he had a basic knowledge of all kinds of collections and rare items.
He had heard of the Life-prolonging Pill from the Buddhist Sect and knew of its great value.
Hence, he gestured at one of the staff to cto him and whispered something.
The staff immediately got off the stage and ran out of the hall.
A moment later, an old man in a wheelchair was seen entering the hall.
The elder was surrounded by a group of people that looked like experienced bodyguards.
Even Austin could tell that this man was a big shot.
A charming girl pushed the wheelchair into the hall. The second she stepped inside the room, she addressed the guests.
"Who offered to trade the Life-prolonging Pill of the Buddhist Sect for our Sarira?" she asked loudly as she glanced at the guests in
their seats.
The girl was in her early twenties, had a fair complexion, and slender limbs. She wore thigh-high stockings coupled with light blue
high stiletto heels.
She was in a black business suit which showed off her curvy figure. All men couldn't help but gaze at her intently.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs for the old man sitting in a wheelchair, he had a square face and exuded an air of authority. His old age didn't mask his identity
as a dignified leader.
However, it was also evident that he had becextremely weak and feeble. Even sitting straight seemed to be difficult.
Everyone knew that the elder was the one who owned the Sarira.
There were a lot of precious items on sale at the Cassede Auction House, and most of them were collections from prominent
people.
"That was me,"
the monk said as he approached the elder in a wheelchair.
"Do you really have that pill?"
the pretty girl asked with a straight face.
"Monks tell no lies. | am a member of the Buddhist Sect.
That man over there is the leader of the Discipline Hall of the Buddhist Sect.
We have the Life-prolonging Pill with us,"
the monk softly answered as he put his palms together.
"Yes, that's Master Eason of the Discipline Hall from the Buddhist Sect.
I've seen him a few times,"
many martial artists whispered to one another.
"Will the pill work on my grandfather?"
the woman asked without wasting any time.
Master Eason stood up, strode forward, and carefully examined the elder.
"Young lady, | will be honest with you.
You and | both know that the old gentleman is very sick. He might not have that much tleft.
I think he can live for another three months at most.
If he takes one of our Life-prolonging Pills, he will be able to live for another five years at most.
If only his physical condition was a little better, the pill could help him live for at least ten more years.
This is all | can say about his current condition,"
Master Eason explained.
"What? The pill can only give him five more years?
In that case, you'll be needing to trade five of those pills for our Sarira,"
the attractive lady said as she grew impatient.
"Young lady, I'm afraid that would not be possible.
We don't even have five Life-prolonging Pills, to begin with.
We only have two of these pills left.
In case you don't know, refining the Life-prolonging Pill requires several very rare natural resources. It takes us about at least forty
years just to acquire enough materials to create two to three of these pills.
We will give you one pill in exchange for your Sarira. If you will agree, you have a deal.
If you don't want to, then forget it,"
Master Eason said.
The elder in the wheelchair who looked a little drowsy abruptly opened his eyes.
"Sweetie, let it go. We can't get anything we want.
It's not like I'm afraid of death.
Make the deal with this kind master.
Five years is more than enough. | don't yearn for more.
I'll be grateful for it as | could still do a lot of things with those years,"
the old man convinced his granddaughter.
"Fine. I'll do it," the pretty lady finally agreed.
"Please call off the bid for the Sarira.
I've decided to make the deal with Master Eason.
Don't worry. We'll pay for the service,"
she said to the auctioneer after having shesitation moments earlier.
The auctioneer did as he was told.
Other martial artists who had planned on bidding for the Sarira had to give up.
The Life-prolonging Pill of the Buddhist Sect was too precious that they had nothing to offer with the svalue.
On top of that, the pill was what the old man desperately needed. Even if they had other precious treasures to trade for the Sarira,
they were skeptical that the lady would agree to make a deal with them.
"We have a deal then.
With this, | am giving to you the Life-prolonging Pill."
Master Eason was glad to reach an agreement.
However, just when he was about to take out the pill, Austin stepped forward and interrupted them.
"Hold on a second," Austin chimed in.
"What is he doing?"
Everyone looked at Austin with a puzzled look all over their faces.
"What else do you want? If you still want to have the Sarira, then I'm afraid that's not happening.
| already made the deal with Master Eason and that's final.
| won't sell it to you no matter how much money you offer,"
the beautiful lady said impatiently as she looked at Austin.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"What if | tell you that | can also prolong the life of this old gentleman? Not only prolong his life, but | will completely cure his
body,"
Austin asserted with a confident smile.
Although the old man was seriously ill and didn't have much life left in him, it would just be a piece of cake for Austin to cure him.
Even if the old man's flesh was smashed to pieces, he could rebuild his physical body and prolong his life as long as his spiritual
soul was still intact.
Letting the old man live for another decade or even almost a century would not even be an issue.
Of course, it would be in exchange for something he wanted if he was to help the old man.
