This seems familiar

"It's time to bring out our main attractions for the day!"

The host said in an enthusiastic voice that made the crowd immediately fall silent.

It was clear by the looks on the faces of the crowd that they were excited by what he had said.

They all seemed like they were ready to fight for the item that was about to be taken out.

When the item was brought out this time, there were several large armed men who came out with it. It was clear that they were there to make sure that it wasn't stolen.

It seemed that this really was something different that the auction house would do all this to protect it.

I could also see that Liu Ao Xue seemed excited about this.

Did she hear something that I didn't hear while we were here?

After the podium was carried out, the host had them put it right on the center of the stage before having the staff members step back. After the staff members stepped back, there was a blue barrier that suddenly appeared around this podium.

Once the barrier appeared, the guards took a formation around the barrier of the podium so that no one could approach.

This seemed like excessive security measures, but no one was surprised to see this.

The looks on their faces almost made it seem like they had already been expecting this.

Was this item that they were about to bring out that special?

Only after all of these security measures were taken did the host suddenly walk forward.

He made his way through the barrier without any problems, but then another large man came out with a sledgehammer in his hand. That man raised that sledgehammer up and slammed it into the barrier in front of him.

There wasn't even a single dent that was made in the barrier, but the sledgehammer had been shattered to pieces.

That was more than enough to show just how strong this barrier was.

With a smile on his face, the host said, "I'm sure that this is enough to show everyone the power of the security measures that we've set up." Then his voice became more serious as he said, "But I'm sure that also shows everyone just how precious the thing that we're about to auction off is."

Everyone had excited looks as they nodded in agreement.

Even without this demonstration, they would have already known just how precious this thing was.

After all, this was one of the reasons why they had come in the first place.

There had been enough rumours that they already knew what this was even without it being announced.

The host could see the effect that his words had on the audience, so he didn't hesitate to pull the cloth off the podium.

The moment that the cloth was pulled off, there was a strong scent that filled the room.

This was a scent that instantly filled this entire hall even with how big it was, showing just how potent the source of the scent was. However, it wasn't a scent that was very intense.

Rather, it was a very gentle scent that was like a spring breeze that filled the room.

Sitting on the pillow that was placed on the podium was a spherical item.

It was a pill.

One of the cornerstones of the cultivation world.

For it to have this kind of effect as soon as it was revealed, that just showed how high grade this pill was.

At the same time, different from a normal pill, there was a line that was on this pill.

This was a line that ran right through the center of the pill, almost seemingly cutting it in half.

There was only silence that followed after the pill was revealed, but that was just the calm before the storm.

As soon as the calm ended, there was an explosion from the crowd.

"It's a real Fifth Grade Pill! I've never seen one in my life before!"

"Not only that, it's a pill with a pill line! This makes it far more valuable than just any regular Fifth Grade Pill!"

"Right! Just with that pill line, this pill is worth a hundred Fourth Grade Pills!"

There were more excited voices that kept talking about how special this pill was.

The host's smile became even wider when he heard all of this. He just waited until their excitement reached a peak before he suddenly said, "Right, as everyone can see, this is not just a Fifth Grade Pill, but a Fifth Grade Pill with one pill line. That means that this is a pill that goes past 100% efficiency, a pill that has been so finely made that it created new herbal energy. This is a pill that can't be made without the heavens blessings!"

Everyone looked at the pill on the pillow with an excited look on their face.

The host continued by saying, "This pill is known as the Quenching Spring Pill. It's said that as long as one has a trace of life left in them, this pill will be enough to fill them with life essence, just like one would quench a dried spring. In essence, this pill is equivalent to having a second life. I hope that everyone will not miss this chance."

In a different room, there were a group of people that watched all of this with looks that seemed even more excited than the crowd.

"Young miss, it seems like it really will sell! It seems like it'll sell for a lot!"

"Of course! Why else would we have brought it to the auction house?"

But in my room, I couldn't help looking at this pill that had been brought out with a strange look.

"Why does it look familiar?"

I couldn't help feeling that I had seen this pill before…

It was just a nagging sensation that was deep inside of me that kept telling me that I had seen this pill somewhere before…
