Shock! The Spell Is In English! Chapter 463

It was someone from another faction. However, they all tacitly agreed that the person behind this perfect-grade medicinal pill was an outsider. This was because everyone in Guangshi City had the same medicinal pill strength and production procedures, at the very least, in terms of quality, it was impossible for so many perfect-grade medicinal pills to suddenly appear. Even if a medicinal pill appeared, it would be used by someone from their own clan. It was impossible for it to end up on the market. This meant that this person was an outsider.
Now that everyone in the entire venue knew each other, only Lugh was an unknown person. This meant that Lugh was the master behind this large number of perfect grade pills. All the clan heads and important figures looked at Lugh with eyes filled with envy. He possessed so many perfect grade pills. The power behind this person must be very powerful.
Lugh was brought into a room by the auction president. This position was in the center of the second floor, and this position was just right for watching the auction below, and it just so happened that the auction products were a very superior position. Obviously, this position was often reserved, and this position was prepared for Lugh alone.
The president of the auction brought Lugh in, and Lugh saw it.
There was a large amount of wine, food, and some fruits in the room. After seeing it, Lugh felt a little hungry. After all, he had not eaten a meal after fighting for so long, and the meal he had for lunch was already a few hours ago. Originally, beast masters consumed a lot of physical strength, so they needed a lot of food to provide physical strength. Therefore, when he saw the food and wine, he did not deliberately walk in front of the food. Lugh grabbed a leg of an unknown animal and started to chew on it.

After the president of the auction house brought Lugh to this room. She gave a few more introductions to Lugh, then walked downstairs. She had to supervise the grading of the perfect pills now. After all, time was of the essence, and it would be bad for her business in the future if these big shots waited for too long.
Just as the president of the auction house walked down the stairs, some of the family heads and big shots who had been waiting at the staircase all this time immediately surrounded her. They asked the president of the auction house who that young man was. The president of the auction house only smiled slightly. Before Lugh allowed his identity to be exposed, as the president, the president of the auction house naturally knew about this rule. Moreover, she had to take the lead in enforcing this rule. Therefore, she could only raise her body to the heads of these clan leaders publicly. After that, she gave them a satisfied glance, then walked out of the door.
Although they did not get the answer they wanted, it could be seen from the attitude of the president of the auction house that Lugh was the master behind that perfect grade medicinal pill. It was almost certain that they were right. Then, the key now was how to get in contact with this youth. They would definitely buy the perfect grade medicinal pill from him. Compared to the medicinal pills that were auctioned off from the auction, they would probably spend less money. Moreover, the chances of success were higher.
Although they knew that Lugh was the seller of the perfect grade medicinal pill, they still didn't go into that room to disturb Lugh. As a clan head or a big shot, they all knew the basic rules. That was, they were not allowed to see these sellers before the auction was completed. This was impolite to the auction and it would damage their status. Therefore, everyone was waiting for the auction to begin. If they could not obtain the perfect grade pills, then they would use methods to find Lugh to buy these pills from him.

Lugh was eating the meat in his hands and drinking the wine beside him. He was very satisfied. He must have starved for half a day. Lugh needed to replenish his strength now. There was still some time before the auction started... Therefore, Lugh took advantage of this time to eat, drink, and then rest.
Lugh waited for about four hours upstairs. Then, the president of the auction came up. The President had come up to explain some of the auction's rules and basic operation to Lugh. She had been able to confirm that Lugh's perfect grade pills were all precious items through the appraisal of his subordinates.
Then, she could start the auction now. In order to increase the price of some of the auction... The president of the auction intended to put Lugh's perfect grade pills up for auction at the end. After all, compared to perfect grade pills, the first few items in the auction were not very important. Although they were usually very precious... but when the perfect grade medicinal pills appeared, their value would be covered by the value of the perfect grade medicinal pills.
The president of the auction house told Lugh that all of Lugh's perfect grade medicinal pills had been processed and re-sealed. Then, they were placed in the auction venue, waiting for the final auction.
And for the sake of the auction's better effects... Lugh and the president of the auction house discussed the plan to auction each bottle one by one. They planned to auction them more than 30 times. This way, they would be able to obtain as much money as possible. This time, they would definitely be afraid of perfection. There were really too many elixirs, so they would definitely sell 30 bottles.
Such a large number of perfect grade elixirs were worth 30 million gold coins. It was impossible for a single family to eat all of them. Therefore, it was impossible for a family to seal all 30 bottles of perfect grade elixirs in one go and sell them all at once. They had to sell them in batches. This way, Lugh would be able to get more money and benefit from the auction.
If they were to sell these pills one by one, it would be too much of a waste of time. Lugh would definitely provide more than 300 perfect grade pills. If they were to auction them one by one... At the very least, they would be auctioned off until the next day or even the day after that.
This was because the auction did not say that you had to make a single bid. They would make a single bid and decide on the spot. In this round, the various families would need to continuously play games to test the other party's bottom line, each unit would need to spend time.
Therefore, during each auction, the entire auction would normally not exceed 10 items. Even if it was time, it would be very difficult to auction off patients for more than two hours. As for the time evaluation of the auction this time, it would increase to four hours. It was already early in the morning, and it was already delaying everyone's time. Therefore, Lugh and the president of the auction decided to auction off the items by the bottle.

Theory of Rifts (LitRPG)
You can join my Discord here. Keynes Kid is gifted with a photographic memory and being several months away from receiving Level 1, and a Talent, he finds himself in the center of attention of people who want to shape his Talent. If they can get him an intelligence related Talent, they will hit a jackpot. The Talent Unlocking ceremony finally comes and Keynes Kid receives… Error… Anomaly (What?) His new talent is… useless. Why then does the World Government want Keynes so badly they will silence anyone who knows about his Talent? At the same time... Somewhere in the Universe, ancient beings stir from their slumber, awoken by the system alert and the wall of glaring red warnings. Their greatest fear just manifested and they are hell-bent on erasing it from existence. -------- It is a slow-development story, so you won't find the MC with super powers at the beginning. -------- It is a coming of age story and focuses on a Talent system (in the beginning) with several additions that bring to the table upgrading of a planet’s tier and such (a bit later). There will be quite an amount of rebuilding society as new, unknown resources enter the economy, and a lot of travelling, delving and naturally, unlocking the secrets of the Universe. As for the setting, the story starts in XXI century, which technology-wise isn't much different from what we have now, but it is enhanced by magic associated with Talents. This allowed the humankind to colonize the solar system, but the technology that allows for interstellar travel doesn't exist (yet). Because it’s my first attempt at LitRPG, please be forgiving but constructive. I hope you will enjoy the story! --- Cover by Daniel Gembus https://www.artstation.com/daniel_gembus instagram.com/danielgembus
