Chapter 3068 The Life-prolonging Pill


    "Honey, didn''t you say that Austin''s worth 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 became the 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 ce 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 some extremely sick people who were able to survive ten years after consuming the


    pill.


    "Well… Let me discuss this first with the owner of the Sarira before I can give you an answer,"


    the auctioneer of the Cassedepany 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 toe to him and whispered something.


    The staff immediately got off the stage and ran out of the hall.


    A momentter, 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 nced at the guests in their seats.


    The girl was in her early twenties, had a fairplexion, and slender limbs. She wore thigh-high


    stockings coupled with light blue high stiletto heels.


    She was in a ck business suit which showed off her curvy figure. All men couldn''t help but gaze at


    her intently.


    As 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 be extremely 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. I 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.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Master Eason stood up, strode forward, and carefully examined the elder.


    "Youngdy, I will be honest with you.


    You and I both know that the old gentleman is very sick. He might not have that much time left.


    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 I can say about his current condition,"


    Master Eason exined.


    "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 attractivedy said as she grew impatient.


    "Youngdy, 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. I don''t yearn for more.


    I''ll be grateful for it as I could still do a lot of things with those years,"


    the old man convinced his granddaughter.


    "Fine. I''ll do it," the prettydy 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 some hesitation moments earlier.


    The auctioneer did as he was told.


    Other martial artists who had nned 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


    same value.


    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 thedy would agree to make a deal with


    them.


    "We have a deal then.


    With this, I am giving to you the Life-prolonging Pill."


    Master Eason was d 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.


    I already made the deal with Master Eason and that''s final.


    I won''t sell it to you no matter how much money you offer,"


    the beautifuldy said impatiently as she looked at Austin.


    "What if I tell you that I can also prolong the life of this old gentleman? Not only prolong his life, but I


    willpletely 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.
