Chapter 632: Alchemy Fowl
Eventually, with an ugly expression, Huangfu Hao dropped back down onto his chair and gave up on bidding. He couldn’t afford such a price anymore, so what else could he do except give up? He could only watch Li Qiye win the Heavenly Cauldron.
“15,000,000 refined jades of the Rising Era Paragon level! Any higher bids?!” On the stage, the excited auctioneer’s hand was shaking while holding his wooden gavel.
Who else would dare to bid when the price was already this high? Eventually, the auctioneer slammed his gavel to conclude this round as he spoke with his trembling voice: “15,000,000 Rising Era Paragon Jades! The cauldron belongs to this Young n.o.ble!”
In the end, the buyers could only come to one conclusion: “There are too many lunatics these days...”
One Demon King couldn’t help but utter: “There should be a limit to being wasteful. This level of profligate behavior is just unreasonable.”
Only a madman would spend 15,000,000 Rising Era Paragon Jades; this was indeed a supremely prodigal son!
“The next treasure is a weapon from the foreign dao…” Infected by the last auction, the auctioneer’s mood was at an all-time high.
In the private room, the workers from the auction house brought the Heavenly Cauldron over. Li Qiye casually handed over a spatial pouch to the workers to pay for the item.
Afterward, he threw the cauldron towards s.h.i.+ Hao and said: “Keep doing your best. If you want to own this cauldron, you must spend a great deal of effort to harmonize with it. However, as long as you keep working hard, it will eventually accept you. At that point, your achievements in the alchemy dao will be able to reach a much higher level!”
The workers were astounded by Li Qiye’s actions. They had seen many wealthy men and big characters, but spending millions of Virtuous Paragon Refined Jades for a cauldron to casually gift to a friend as if it was mere rubbish... Such extravagance was beyond cure! They had never seen this type of person before.
s.h.i.+ Hao was shaking with fear. When the cauldron was thrown his way, he quickly jumped to grab it tightly as if he was afraid of dropping it. An item worth millions of refined jades made him afraid of it touching anything at all.
He struggled to calm down and prostrated on the ground while exuding his uncontrollable appreciation: “Big Brother… I… I will definitely not let you down!” He was a simple man. Countless words formed in his mind, but only this phrase left his lips.
Li Qiye nodded and said: “Be diligent. This cauldron is indeed great and has a natural affinity towards medicine. With it in the future, you will gain many benefits when cultivating plants. The more important part is that this cauldron has refined imperial pills before, so it will increase your pill refinement level by a notch.”
At this point, s.h.i.+ Hao could only nod his head repeatedly. He didn’t know what else to say to express his grat.i.tude while Bai Weng watched on with admiration. Countless alchemists yearned for such a cauldron to no avail. Bai Weng understood that all of this was possible because Li Qiye valued s.h.i.+ Hao and wanted to train him.
Several auctions went by, and the next item was a living creature.
A fowl was raised to the stage, resulting in quite a dazzling spectacle. It emitted waves of immortal lights along with a medicinal fragrance that caused others to salivate.
An experienced alchemist sniffed the aroma and became lost in his indulgence while murmuring: “Nine Dragon’s Saliva Aroma, Dao Wood Profound Aroma, Immortal River Lotus Aroma… How beautiful are these fragrances… So supreme...”
Another famous alchemist stood up in astonishment and stared at the chicken in disbelief as he lost his voice: “Impossible! Could this be a legendary Alchemy Fowl?”
“Sir, you have great insight.” The auctioneer replied: “Correct! This is an Alchemy Fowl! They are extremely rare in this world, and this is our first time auctioning one in the Golem Square in the capital.”
Other great characters could handle it, but the alchemists here could no longer bear it.
“Is it really an Alchemy Fowl?!” They all stood up and gazed intensely at the fowl.
“An Alchemy Fowl!” Bai Weng couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ver while standing next to Li Qiye. He opened his eyes wide and wished to examine every inch of the beast carefully, not wanting to miss even a single feather.
He gasped and said: “So Alchemy Fowls do exist in this world… They are… divine items in the eyes of alchemists… To have one is…”
Bai Weng was at a loss for words since he felt that this was a divine creature. Any alchemist in the world would love to have one.
This prompted s.h.i.+ Hao’s inquiry: “What kind of chicken is an Alchemy Fowl?” He was still young and didn’t know the effects of an Alchemy Fowl, but after noticing the many astonished alchemists, he knew that this chicken must be very amazing.
Bai Weng’s gaze was still fixated on the chicken as he replied: “It is a long story, but in short, that chicken is everything an alchemist could want.”
