Chapter 627: Golem Square (2/2)
This Fire Source was the finest to alchemists, so this cauldron was a true treasure.
Bai Weng was also astonished as he gazed at the cauldron after hearing the announcement. He felt that this was a priceless treasure; if he could obtain such a thing, it would be a satisfaction that lasted for a lifetime.
An alchemist skeptically asked: “Is this real or fake?”
The auctioneer responded in a serious manner: “I swear upon the reputation of the Golem Square. This cauldron was identified by our three alchemists, so the Fire Source of this cauldron is definitely the Vermillion Divine Flame!”
“What is the starting bid?” A young man stood up and asked: “This cauldron will be mine for sure!”
The roads were indeed narrow for enemies. This young man was the descendant of the Lie Clan that blocked Li Qiye’s path early this morning — Lie Jie.
His arrogant att.i.tude was a cause for annoyance, but the Lie Clan had deep pockets. An alchemy clan never lacked money.
“Since everyone likes it so much…” The auctioneer immediately said: “Then we can start. There is no starting bid, feel free to name your price.”
After Lie Jie heard that any bid was fine, he took the initiative: “I bid 5,000 Heavenly Sovereign Refined Jades!”
Another alchemist gave his bid: “I bid 6,000 Heavenly Sovereign Refined Jades!”
Another great character from a prestigious clan voiced his interest: “I also bid 6,000 Heavenly Sovereign Refined Jades, but they are of the Jewel Sovereign grade.”
In general, when it came to refined jades, jades of the Heavenly Sovereign level meant that they were of the lowest grade — Little Sovereign Refined Jades. Unless further specified, this was true for all the levels; they would start at the lowest grade.
While others were starting a bidding war, Bai Weng asked Li Qiye with a blazing gaze: “How is this Heavenly Cauldron?”
He felt that this was already of the finest grade and was completely suitable for s.h.i.+ Hao.
Li Qiye only gave it a glance and said: “Not bad.”
“Not bad… only not bad…?” Bai Weng couldn’t help but stutter: “But the Fire Source of… this… cauldron is a Vermillion Divine Flame!”
Bai Weng didn’t know what to say to Li Qiye. In his eyes, this was the best of cauldrons, but Li Qiye only said “not bad”. This was the gap between the two.
Li Qiye didn’t hold any interest for the cauldron before him. It was not worth wasting his time for, so he said: “When are they auctioning the other cauldron?”
Bai Weng arched his chin over to the right and said: “It will be in the second half of the auction over there. Only the most honored guests, those who bought three items from the first half or paid the fee of 8,000 Heavenly Sovereign Refined Jades, would be eligible to enter. Of course, honored guests are not required to partic.i.p.ate in the first half.”
Li Qiye said: “Then we’ll wait for the second half, there is nothing to see here.” With that, he started walking away.
“But—” Bai Weng was taken aback. However, Li Qiye had already started to walk towards the entrance, so s.h.i.+ Hao and him quickly ran to catch up.
There were guards beside the entrance of the room where the second half of the auction was taking place. Li Qiye was immediately stopped when he arrived there.
Two guards blocked his path while one of them coldly said: “Friend, please show the n.o.blest Writ. If you don’t have it, then please leave.”
“I don’t have one.” Li Qiye leisurely said: “But you guys should be welcoming me inside. This would be an honor for your Golem Square after all.”
Li Qiye was so arrogant that it caused the two guards’ expressions to darken. One coldly spoke: “Are you looking for trouble?”
The other one sneered and said: “You should look at where you are standing before looking for trouble. You are at the wrong place!” With that, his hand stretched towards Li Qiye.
