"Friend from VIP Box 130 bids 300,000 Silver Kall. This is truly an exciting price for Mona. Will the friend from VIP Box 79 offer a higher bid? Who will ultimately take home this bottle of Worry-Free Pill? It's quite thrilling."
As Bu Xin gritted his teeth in pain, Mona's seductive voice rang out again. At that moment, Bu wished he could rush onto the stage and teach this tormenting enchantress a lesson, making her realize that such shameless seduction was immoral and would come at a cost.
"350,000 Silver Kall! If you can raise your bid, this bottle of Worry-Free Pill will be yours." A man's voice echoed from Box 79. From his nonchalant tone, it seemed that the Worry-Free Pill was merely a whim for him.
Bu was provoked by the other party's words and genuinely considered raising the bid by 1,000 Silver Kall just to annoy him. However, when his hand lifted, it ultimately did not land on the red button. 350,000 Silver Kall was far beyond the actual value of the Worry-Free Pill; if he really won it at that price, it would be too much of a loss.
Compared to getting Kalandor and the others into the Outer Gate as soon as possible, while the Worry-Free Pill was important, it wasn't essential. Bu had already recalled another source for obtaining the Worry-Free Pill: Holy Light Academy's Primordial Hall—Van Lao.
Since this Worry-Free Pill could be refined by Feg's Alchemist Master, there was no reason why Van Lao, also an Alchemist Master, couldn't produce it. Bu planned to visit Primordial Hall tomorrow and join as a member before asking the eccentric old man about the Worry-Free Pill. Surely, as long as he offered money, that old man would be willing to sell some.
After a long while, no one else placed a bid. Even though Mona threw several flirtatious glances at Bu, it was all in vain; he couldn't be bothered to respond. He had realized how powerful this woman's words were—she had raised the value of a pill worth only 200,000 Silver Kall to 350,000, which was more aggressive than robbery.
"350,000 once."
"350,000 twice."
"350,000 three times. It seems no one else is raising their bid. The friend from VIP Box 79 has successfully acquired this bottle of Worry-Free Pill. Congratulations! We will have someone deliver the item to your room. Next up for auction is a top-tier Exquisite-grade battle knife."
The first item was sold at a high price of 350,000, igniting a fiery atmosphere in the venue. Following that, Mona presided over more than thirty items for auction, with nearly every final sale price exceeding its actual value.
During this time, there were many good items available, but Bu did not make another bid. He felt frustrated by this inability to spend money; especially when he saw an Intermediate-level 4 magical beast roar being auctioned off—he felt completely torn.
Ultimately, that Intermediate-level 4 magical beast roar was sold for an astonishing 1.8 million. At that moment, Bu seemed to hear his heart shattering. Poor him; he still didn't have a Contract Beast. His only hope lay in the Stone Egg still resting in his Storage Bracelet.
The Stone Egg was referred to by Van Lao as the Egg of the Transcendent Beast. This egg caused Bu great distress; although Hong Lian had shown some reaction to it before, no matter how much Bu studied it—even nearly letting Hong Lian swallow it—he couldn't find any clues or hatch a Supreme Beast cub from it. It felt as bizarre as if Sun Wukong had jumped out of a rock.
"Now we will auction something that has appeared before; however, in terms of quality, it surpasses what came before significantly. Perhaps with my hint here, everyone can guess what is about to be auctioned."
Mona waved her hand, and a man beside her lifted a silk cloth to reveal ten pieces of crystal-clear Azure Jade lying underneath.
Bu Spirit perked up and unconsciously straightened his back. The previous set of Fifth-Grade Azure Jade had ultimately sold for 530,000 Silver Kall. Bu estimated that his set of Seven-Rank Azure Jade would sell for no less than one million.
Now he understood how significant the favor he owed Lange was; not to mention the priceless Crimson Lotus Incarnation or elixirs and combat techniques—just the Azure Jade alone represented a fortune. He still had over thirty pieces of Seven-Rank Azure Jade lying in his Storage Bracelet.
"This is a set of Seven-Rank Azure Jade. After careful inspection by our auction house, this set of Azure Jade has not been absorbed by anyone and has extremely high purity. Whether used as an Energy Core for formations or for cultivation, it is excellent. The previous set of Fifth-Grade Azure Jade was purchased by a friend from VIP Box 36. I wonder who will be the final owner of this higher quality Seven-Rank Azure Jade?"
"The starting price is five hundred thousand Silver Kall, and each bid must increase by no less than one thousand Silver Kall. The auction starts now!"
Mona lightly played with her hair ends, smiling with two dimples, looking quite expectant.
"A set of Seven-Rank Azure Jade, such a rare good item! I'll take it; I bid five hundred thousand one thousand."
"Can you bid a little more? I bid five hundred eleven thousand!"
"Everyone back off! No one is allowed to compete with me this time; I bid five hundred thirty-three thousand!"
"Six hundred thousand!"
Bu was astonished; in just a moment, the price had climbed to six hundred thousand, and it was still rising. At this rate, it seemed that the end was not yet in sight.
"It's happening! It's happening!" Locke's eyes sparkled, his face flushed. He was used to being poor; the largest sum of money he had seen before following Bu was only a few dozen Silver Kall. The most expensive item he owned was a Dark Magic Contract used on himself. Seeing the continuously rising price made him feel blissfully dazed by the money.
"I, Dekdo, bid one million; this set of Seven-Rank Azure Jade is mine! I hope everyone won't make it difficult for me." Just as Bu was feeling delighted, a strong voice suddenly emerged, carrying an implicit threat.
If the previous set of Fifth-Grade Azure Jade had proceeded without much excitement and few were willing to compete fiercely, then the appearance of this Seven-Rank Azure Jade completely shattered the originally friendly competition.
Dekdo's sudden intervention brought a momentary silence to the already heated scene. Clearly, Dekdo was not some nameless individual; to speak like that meant either he had incredible strength or powerful backing, causing many bidders to hesitate.
"This bastard is blocking my path to wealth!" Bu jumped up in frustration, grinding his teeth at the suddenly emerging Dekdo. If he weren't the seller unable to raise the price himself, he would have shouted out a bid without hesitation. As for any concerns about consequences—money makes people act recklessly; who cares who he is?
Bu's impatience did not last long. Although Dekdo's words made some people retreat, those who could enter this auction clearly had strength and backing. They were not easily intimidated by just one statement.
"Although you Dekdo are a Sixth Generation Copper Void Student from Holy Light Academy, thinking you can intimidate everyone here with that alone is rather arrogant. I bid one hundred ten thousand; what will you do about that?" A clear and pleasant female voice floated out from a VIP Box, completely disregarding Dekdo and sparking discussions among many in the audience as they began speculating about her identity.
"I thought who it was; turns out it's Sister Bertha from Thorned Heart. Why isn't Sister Bertha staying at home mourning? Instead, she has time to attend an auction—she must be in a great mood! I bid one hundred fifty thousand. Sister Bertha is wealthy; will you continue to raise your bid?" Dekdo's words were mocking, clearly displeased at being publicly challenged and speaking with venomous intent.
“Thorned Heart?” Bu Xin moved and glanced at Locke, recalling that the first time she purchased Amplification Equipment, she went to a shop called Thorned Heart.
Dekdo’s words were too damaging; saying that she should stay home and mourn was a sarcastic move meant to provoke hatred, instantly angering Bertha.
“How I act is none of your business, Dekdo. I’ll bid two million for this set of Azure Jade, and you won’t take anything away today.”
“Two million!”
The crowd gasped, many secretly lamenting. As expected of the eldest daughter of Thorned Heart, her wealth was truly overwhelming. Whoever gained her favor would indeed have an easier path for the next fifty years.
“Sister Bertha comes from a wealthy family; I, Dekdo, cannot compete with you. I won’t bid on this set of Azure Jade. You can keep it as a dowry if you wish to remarry in the future, hahahaha.”
The two million price clearly exceeded Dekdo’s limit, but even as he withdrew from the bidding, he had to throw in a sarcastic remark, revealing his petty nature.
“Lot number ten, VIP Box, Sister Bertha bids two million Silver Kall. If no one else raises the bid, this set of Seven-Rank Azure Jade will belong to Sister Bertha,” Mona, who had not spoken until now, announced. After her voice fell, no one raised their bid; no one wanted to provoke Bertha, and no one was confident they could outbid the wealth of the eldest daughter of Thorned Heart.
As expected, this set of Seven-Rank Azure Jade ultimately sold for two million Silver Kall, purchased by Bertha.
