Chapter 414 (1/2)
In order to enter the East Star Auction Hall, a certain amount of spirit stones had to be paid. For a normal seat, the cost for each individual would be 50 low-grade spirit stones. For the honorable guest seat, each individual would need to pay 200 low-grade spirit stones. There was also the better honorable guest room and the supreme room that were meant for people with n.o.ble status, no amount of spirit stones would be useful.
Li Fuchen didn't wish to squeeze along with others, hence, he paid 200 low-grade spirit stones and was led by an attendant to the honorable guest seats' area.
The honorable guest seats were part.i.tioned with screens and weren't mutually connected, giving some considerable privacy.
After getting into his seat, Li Fuchen started to size up the auction hall.
The ma.s.sive auction hall had a total of 2000 seats. Currently, half of the seats were filled up and it was very crowded.
”This auction hall is rather profitable.” Li Fuchen lamented in his heart.
A normal seat would cost 50 low-grade spirit stones, 2000 seats would mean 10,000 low-grade spirit stones. It wasn't a small sum and after including the commission from the auction items, their income would be even higher.
One hour later, the auction hall was fully seated.
The customers were all Reincarnation Realm. No matter how wealthy a Heaven Dipper Realm martial artist was, they wouldn't enter this place. After all, during the auction, even an ordinary item would cost at least 1000 low-grade spirit stones. How could they have so many low-grade spirit stones?
Soon enough, a white-haired auction host came on stage. He cupped his hands towards everyone and said, ”I am the host for the auction this time. This host can guarantee that all the items in the auction are authentic and are fair trade…”
After some conventional greetings, the white-haired host announced the start of the auction.
The first time of the auction was the earth cla.s.s low-tier, Spirit Heart Elixir. This elixir might be an earth cla.s.s low-tier elixir, but the asking price was 1000 low-grade spirit stones, making it comparable to earth cla.s.s mid-tier elixirs.
”It is actually the Spirit Heart Elixir?” Li Fuchen was moved.
The mental cultivation elixirs could allow the pract.i.tioner to clear out the mental state. The effects were similar to the Clear Spirit Fruit but it was several times better.
If not the asking price would be at 1000 low-grade spirit stones.
”1100.”
”1150.”
”1200.”
”1300.”
”1500.”
The Spirit Heart Elixir was very popular as the price was climbing steadily.
”1800.” Li Fuchen made a bid too.
Once this bid was out, everyone else became spiritless.
The Spirit Heart Elixir was good, but it wasn't able to allow the consumer to directly breakthrough. The side effects were minimal and it was suitable for those pract.i.tioners who wished to firm their foundations.
In the eyes of most people, the Spirit Heart Elixir's price was around 1500 low-grade spirit stones, any more would be a loss.
Ultimately, the Spirit Heart Elixir fell into the hands of Li Fuchen.
The second auction item was a pair of earth cla.s.s low-tier metal claws.
The weapon was nothing special. It was simply a niche item and such items rarely appear in the market.
There were plenty of Reincarnation Realm martial artists who cultivated claw arts but due to the lack of a suitable weapon, their combat strength couldn't reach the optimal level. How was it not possible for them to contest for this weapon.
In just a short moment, the metal claw's price had reached 1600 low-grade spirit stones.
There were two of the 3rd level Reincarnation Realm martial artists who were in an intense struggle and neither was willing to give up.
”1900 going once, 1900 going twice, sold.”
In the end, this pair of metal claws landed in the hands of a bald middle-aged man, causing this man to be in high spirits for a long time.
Time elapsed quickly, every auction item was presented and sold. During this period of time, none of the auction items were unsold as there was an intense contest.
”Earth cla.s.s mid-tier elixir, Clear Spirit Elixir. It is concocted by Grandmaster Ever Youth. The asking price is 2000 low-grade spirit stones.”
Gradually, the auction started to enter the middle phase.
”Clear Spirit Elixir.” Li Fuchen laughed bitterly.
The Spirit Heart Elixir and the Clear Spirit Elixir were both able to increase the mental state. However, the Clear Spirit Elixir used the Clear Spirit Fruit as the main ingredient and were supplemented with many other herbs meant for increasing the mental state during the concoction. The effects were better than the Spirit Heart Elixir, thus, many of the mid-leveled and high-leveled Reincarnation Realm martial artists had partic.i.p.ated.
Li Fuchen raised his hand and called out a bid of 2800.
He might already have the Spirit Heart Elixir, but he still didn't wish to give up on the Clear Spirit Elixir. After all, who would dislike having a higher speed of increase for the mental state?
”2900.”
”3000.”
Those low-leveled Reincarnation Realm martial artists had already given up. Only the mid-leveled and high-leveled Reincarnation Realm martial artists were still in the bid.
”3500.” Li Fuchen raised the price by 500 low-grade spirit stones at one go.
As a result, a few of the high-leveled Reincarnation Realm martial artists had given up too.
Their cultivation level were rather high and the Clear Spirit Elixir had limited effects for him. Of course, if the price was within their acceptable range, they wouldn't mind bidding for it.
When Li Fuchen raised the price to 4000 low-grade spirit stones, everyone had given up.
The asking price of the Clear Spirit Elixir was only 2000. They didn't have so much low-grade spirit stones to squander.
