Chapter 299: The Man from D4 (1/2)

A bunch of more ingredients was being sold and the auction wasn't close to being halfway done. The prices were barely at around 4 to 6 True Spirit stones. There were items with a lot more value being sold later on for sure.

Alex was getting lazy when suddenly a feeling appeared inside him. It was very, very, very minute, but he caught it and thought, 'An alchemy ingredient?'

Yu Min pulled the cloth and revealed a box with a small flower inside of it. Yu Min pulled out the flower to show to everyone and said, ”This is an Umbra Lotus, a flower with incredible Yin Qi. ”

”It can be used to make pills with Yin energy or be used in poisons. There are also Yin bases formations and artifacts that can possibly use this flower as it's incredibly versatile.”

”The bid for the Umbra Lotus will start at 280 spirit stones and can only be increased by a minimum of 5 spirit stones,” Yu Min declared.

The audience was a little taken aback. The minimum bid price had suddenly increased. Meaning, everything from now on was going to be way more expensive with each bid.

”You may now begin,” Yu Min said as she banged the gavel on the wood.

The bid amount had increased but that wasn't a deterrent to any of the people with money. As soon as they were allowed, they immediately started to bid.

The bid increased 5 spirit stones at a time and soon the bid was at 400 spirit stones.

'Should I get in on it too?' Alex thought. An alchemy ingredient, especially one that had the higher energy Yin as well.

'Why not? Not like I'm going to lose anything whether I get it or not,' Alex thought and started bidding.

”500 spirit stones,” he bid. However, his bid was immediately outbid by someone else. Even though many people wanted it, Alex could head that the guy in D4 really tried his best to outbid everyone.

'Does this guy want everything?' Alex wondered.

”580 spirit stones,” Alex tried to bid again.

”600 spirit stones,” the man immediately outbid him again. A few other people tried to bid against him but people couldn't really outbid the man.

”Ahem,” a voice came from the same room where the bid was happening. The voice was quite low, however, and only Alex and a few others near the room could hear it.

'Did they accidentally leave the mic on?' Alex wondered.

”Uncle, let the other people get the flower. You don't really need it right?” A young voice appeared from the room in contrast with the old man's voice.

”630 spirit stones,” the man bid loudly and addressed the young man's queries. ”Uhh… Nah. I'll just get it cause I can,” the man said.

”Sigh, uncle. What will you even do with that flower?” the young voice asked.

”I don't know. I will let the alchemists and formation masters figure it out,” the older voice said and continued bidding.

Alex was beyond dumbfounded by what he was hearing. 'Get something just because he can? Just how rich is this guy. Could it be he is the son of a rich merchant?' Alex wondered.

The man reminded him of Huo Tu. He also was used to throwing around money to get what he wanted, even when fighting, and didn't really care about others.

'I hate these types of men,' Alex thought. Unfortunately, the world loved these people. The man managed to outbid every single person in the Umbra Lotus big and successfully won it.
