Chapter 226 - Bringing to light
Even though Fire City's population wasn't large, it was only a few hundred thousand. However, the area it occupied was very large. There were no tall buildings here, and most of the buildings here were short buildings. As a result, it occupied a large area.
As Xiao Yu held onto the piece of paper, he saw that there were many medicinal ingredients on it that he had never heard of before. Xiao Yu wandered around Fire City for a good half a day, yet he could not find any clues. Finally, he asked for directions and went straight to the biggest medicine store in Fire City.
Fire City's Great Medicinal Store!
It was a very large medicine store, and there were countless herbs being sold here. It was much bigger than even the Treasure Pavilion s.
When Xiao Yu entered the medicine store, he naturally quickly gathered all of the necessary medicinal ingredients. However, the cost was three times that of a normal medicine store outside. Just as Xiao Yu was about to leave, he heard that there was a huge auction going on in the medicine shop.
There was a treasure to be auctioned.
— — Rosefinch Orb feather.
The four ancient mythical beasts, the prehistoric feathers.
Legend has it that Rosefinch Orb is a type of divine bird not inferior to the Kun Peng. A spark that was reborn from the fire!
It was a divine beast within the flames.
In the beginning, Xiao Yu was not very interested, but Abbot Whitebrow spoke up: ”Xiao Yu, go buy this Rosefinch Orb feather. This is extremely good for you. ”
Xiao Yu disagreed: ”What's the benefit?”
White-brow said: ”The Rosefinch Orb feathers can increase the strength of your purple golden roc wings, allowing your purple golden roc wings to take form, greatly increasing in speed and strength. In addition, the Fire Elemental on the feather can greatly enhance your Fire Elemental magic! ”
Xiao Yu's eyes immediately lit up, ”This is a good item. But I don't have any money left! ”
Previously, Xiao Yu had obtained one hundred and twenty billion crystal coins from Ning Yuling. However, he had spent almost all of it. After all, the cultivation pills Xiao Yu required along the way was an astronomical number. In addition, he would also need to purchase a lot of supplementary ingredients to concoct the Ring-Bundle Pill. He had almost used up all of his energy.
120 billion crystal coins seemed to be a huge number. However, crystal coins are currency units used in the circulation of small cities. Even though he could be considered rich in a small city. However, when one came to a place like the capital, the crystal coins were considered insignificant.
What was circulating here was a larger monetary unit — black crystal coins.
One black crystal coin for one hundred thousand crystal coins. That is to say, out of the 120 billion crystal coins, he only exchanged for 1.2 million black crystal coins!
White-brow said disapprovingly, ”Money can be earned again, but if we miss this opportunity, then it's gone.” The Rosefinch Orb feather is a good thing. Besides, it's not like you don't have any money on you. ”
Following White-brow's explanation, Xiao Yu instinctively thought of the Storage Card that Cheng Linglong had given him.
When they were trading just now, Xiao Yu knew that this card had a total of three million black gold coins.
Xiao Yu rubbed his chin, muttering to himself, ”If I were to run out of money from this savings card … Will Cheng Linglong fight with me? ”
Abbot Whitebrow said in a speechless manner, ”Men's aspirations are everywhere. Why bother about the gains and losses of a city and a pond?”
Xiao Yu thought for a while, ”What you said makes sense. Then let's go to the auction house and take a look. ”
Entering the auction house, Xiao Yu found an inconspicuous seat and sat down.
The venue was very large, and in the end, over a thousand people came to participate. On the stage in the middle of the stage, a woman dressed in a red qipao appeared. Her face was beautiful, her eyes were mesmerizing, and her voice was filled with passion and enthusiasm. As everyone knows, our Fire City Auction House has a good treasure in every auction. This time is no exception, we have prepared three treasures for everyone! ”
”The first treasure is our Fire City's Supreme Swordmaster's Fire Saber!” This sword was called the Burning River, and he had followed the Ardent Flames Great Swordmaster for half his life. In the end, the Ardent Flames Great Swordmaster had used the Burning River Sword to break through to the Saint realm. He was just one step away from success! It was a pity that in the end, the great swordsman was still trapped by the emotions and his inner demon took over and he died! Now, the disciple, Huo Yang, of the Ardent Flame Great Swordmaster was going to auction it off! The starting price is 100,000 black crystal coins! ” The beautiful auctioneer explained enthusiastically.
Very quickly, there was a bid going on below the stage.
”I bid 110,000!”
”I bid one hundred and twenty thousand!”
”I'll pay one hundred and thirty thousand!”
”…”
The bid increase continued and soon reached 200,000.
At this moment, a little fatty suddenly spoke up, ”I bid three hundred thousand!”
Hiss! Everyone was shocked as they looked up.
Xiao Yu felt that if he did not enter the Absolute Monarch Sanctuary, he would have failed in the end. Such a sword could fetch two hundred thousand black crystal coins. The price wasn't low at all, someone had directly bid 300,000. It was curious.
Xiao Yu looked up and saw that the little fatty who offered a price was dressed in a very luxurious white robe, and looked like a rich second generation.
The auctioneer said loudly, ”Alright, someone has already bid 300,000 Black Crystal Coins. Is there anyone else who would like to bid even higher? ”
There was complete silence.
The auctioneer slammed his gavel down, ”Congratulations young master, the Burning River Sword is yours!”
Following that, the beautiful auctioneer revealed the second item: ”This is a Returning Origin Pill. It came from the Cheng Clan of Medicine King City. Anyone who consumed this pill could increase their level of origin realm by a level. This kind of medicinal pill is not for sale in the Medicinal Herbs Market! Usually, it was just a coincidence that he wouldn't be able to get it. Today, our Fire City Auction House coincidentally obtained one. ”Now take it out for auction, starting bid 200,000 Black Crystal Coins!”
When these words came out, everyone in the audience boiled over with excitement. Everyone knew that compared to the Burning River Sword, the effect of the Gui Yuan Pill was much more practical. Advancing to the Nascent Soul stage was a dream for many warriors. Money couldn't buy this sort of thing.
”I'll pay three hundred thousand!”
”I bid three hundred and fifty thousand!”
”I'll pay four hundred thousand!”
”…”
