Chapter 1202: Chapter 752: Sky-High Prices
As of now, the Longevity Club has produced a total of four hundred eighty Number One Longevity Pills. With less than two hundred members in the entire club, this means that nearly every member could receive more than two Number One Longevity Pills.

In the top-tier mission hall of the Longevity Club, as members complete more and more tasks, they not only upgrade to higher-level membership but also receive additional rewards in the form of Number One Longevity Pills. In some cases, due to the excessive number of tasks completed, a single member may possess four or five Number One Longevity Pills.
However, there are significant limitations to the Number One Longevity Pills. To date, looking at the entire world, the number of people who have actually ingested the Number One Longevity Pill does not exceed the number of fingers on one hand, including Situ, the primary test subject of the Longevity Club.
Without exception, those who have taken the Number One Longevity Pill are individuals whose lives were flickering out, with virtually no possibility of survival.
For example, the elderly patriarch of the Yang family in Capital City, who is the biological father of the current Yang family head, Yang Tianxia, and the former family head himself, was pronounced critically ill half a year ago. At ninety-four years old, he was at any moment expected to pass away. It was under these circumstances that Yang Tianxia spared no expense to acquire a Number One Longevity Pill from Chu Mo and after administering it, the patriarch has continued to hold on till now.
Nevertheless, unless absolutely necessary, top-tier tycoons generally do not consume the Number One Longevity Pill so readily.
With the introduction of the Number Two Longevity Pill, the value of the Number One Longevity Pill has decreased significantly. So, it is only reasonable for those who have hoarded several Number One Longevity Pills to consider offloading their surplus.
As for the Number One Longevity Pill currently on the auction stage, it too has a clear numbering. Chu Mo only needs to go back and check to easily ascertain to whom this pill belongs.
Of course, even though there are two hundred top-tier members of the Longevity Club, each potentially possessing one Number One Longevity Pill, for the many billionaires whose resources are insufficient, the Number One Longevity Pill remains the object of their dreams.
Thus, as the bid starts, the entire hall immediately becomes bustling with activity. The original base bid of one million can hardly contain the enthusiasm of these wealthy bidders, with each bid invariably jumping by ten million.
Soon, the Number One Longevity Pill, which started at a base price of one hundred million, has been bid up to three hundred million. And judging by the fluctuating voices of the bidders in the hall, three hundred million is clearly not the limit for the Number One Longevity Pill.
“Five hundred and fifty million!”
This sky-high bid came from an old man with an aged and frail appearance.
The old man, whose hair was grizzled and face covered in age spots, was obviously at the end of his life. But his desire to live compelled him to raise the bid from three hundred million straight to five hundred and fifty million.
Clearly, the old man was determined to win the Number One Longevity Pill at any cost, and he was also using this as a way to demonstrate his resolve to everyone present.
Sure enough, with the price of the Number One Longevity Pill soaring past five hundred million, those originally passionate but financially insufficient tycoons began to drop out of the auction. Now, only those wealthy enough to afford it could continue to bid.
“Six hundred million!”
This bid was made by a young man.
When Chu Mo saw the young man who stood up, a slight smirk appeared on his lips. He recognized the man; it was Liu Mingfei from the Liu family of Zhongzhou.
The Liu family is one of Hua Country’s eight great families, and they had significant previous conflicts with Chu Mo. This Liu Mingfei, in particular, is an archenemy of Chu Mo, which is why the Liu family from Zhongzhou has not yet joined the Longevity Club.
That’s exactly why, even though the Liu family’s assets are nearly a trillion, they still haven’t acquired a single No.1 Longevity Pill.
Now, finally someone is auctioning a No.1 Longevity Pill, and naturally, the Liu family wouldn’t miss it.
Though Liu Mingfei is young, the force he represents is the Liu family of Zhongzhou, one of the eight great families, and in the whole of Zhongzhou, the Liu family’s word is law.
With Liu Mingfei standing up, he was also warning others that the Liu family had set their sights on this pill, and the others had better not entertain any ideas about it.
However, if it were anything else, some of the less powerful small families certainly wouldn’t want to risk offending the Liu family by continuing to bid up the price.
But, the item in question is different – the No.1 Longevity Pill is a life-saving treasure. Simply put, possessing this pill could extend the life of a dying elderly person by one to three years.
Everyone has seen the effects of the Longevity Club’s research. Not long after the debut of the No.1 Longevity Pill, the No.2 Longevity Pill had already come out. So, how far off could the No.3 and even No.4 Longevity Pills be?
Simply put, they could use the No.1 Longevity Pill to cling to life now, and in a few years, perhaps the price of the No.2 Longevity Pill would drop, and then their lifespans could be extended once more. It is for this very reason that for those wealthy individuals whose days are numbered, the fear of the Liu family from Zhongzhou pales in comparison to their own lives.
Therefore, this time, although the Liu family’s eldest son, Liu Mingfei, had already stood up to indicate his status and attitude, the auction for the No.1 Longevity Pill did not come to an end.
“Six hundred million!”
This was the second time the old man in the center of the hall had placed a bid.
Chu Mo did not know the specific identity of this elderly man, but he was sure that he had not seen the latter at the club before, meaning the old man was not a member of the club, and his assets were also not up to a hundred billion. However, the fact that he was determined to stand up to the Liu family, and could cash out six hundred million in one go, surely indicated his family’s wealth was over ten billion.
The white-haired old man was clearly suffering from a serious illness, and this Longevity Pill was his only hope for survival. Under such circumstances, he naturally wouldn’t care about any repercussions from the Liu family of Zhongzhou. Staying alive was the old man’s only thought.
As the white-haired old man called out his bid, the hall, which had been silent, once again erupted into fervent bidding. Evidently, those determined to secure the No.1 Longevity Pill were not limited to the Liu family of Zhongzhou and the white-haired old man; other families were equally unwilling to give up easily.
Soon, the price of the No.1 Longevity Pill had skyrocketed to a terrifying eight hundred million, forcing many individuals with insufficient funds to give up reluctantly. In the end, only the Liu family of Zhongzhou and the white-haired old man were still in the bidding process.
The youngest of the Liu family finally gritted his teeth and offered a staggering nine hundred million, but the white-haired elder coolly bid one billion.
This price obviously exceeded the authority of the Liu family’s young master, and after giving the white-haired old man a fierce glare, Liu Mingfei ultimately had to give up.
In the end, the No.1 Longevity Pill was sold to the white-haired old man for one billion.
At that moment, in the back row of the hall, Chu Mo, who had witnessed the entire event, suddenly felt a sense of anticipation. If the No.1 Longevity Pill could fetch such a price, what astronomical figure would the rarer and more miraculous No.2 Longevity Pill command!
