Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 307: The Auction (2)


Back to the stage after finishing the auction of the first item. Xiao-Jiang immediately took out the next item. The next item that was taken out caused all the bidders to have a puzzled expression on their faces.

"What is that?"

"Damn it, how did something like this get on the auction list!?"

"That's right! Are you joking by bringing such a thing to the auction!?"

"Everyone, calm down first, sir." As soon as Xiao-Jiang saw that the participants had started to fuss over the next item brought out, she immediately spoke up to regain everyone's sanity. She also understood how everyone felt like this.

"Miss Xiao, I don't know why you brought out such a simple jar of liquor. This auction has only top-class items, isn't it?" one of the participants asked with a questioning look.

"Of course, everything that is on today's auction list is all top-class. And this jar is the same. What I'm about to say is that this liquor jar was made from a fraction of a water-elemental spiritual stone. The liquor inside this jar was distilled from great herbs, such as the Hundred-Year-Old Ginseng, Sky Aqua Blood Cell, Winter Root, and also the blood of the Immortal-level monster beast.

From the ingredients I've mentioned, you all can understand why I brought this liquor to the auction."

Ah!!!

As soon as Xiao-Jiang finished speaking, everyone's faces instantly became stunned. Just the jar itself, made from a fraction of an elemental spiritual stone, was already very valuable. Not to mention the liquor inside the jar that was distilled from the finest ingredients.

"So how do we know that what she said is true?" Suddenly, a curious voice sounded from a room on the second floor of the bronze-level room.

Pop!!!

Boom!!!

Everyone wanted to know if what Xiao-Jiang said was true or not because her auction house was not even famous enough to make them believe in every item. So, people could not help but still want to know if it was true or not, even if the first item was a good one.

And, of course, Zheng-Fu had already thought of this as well. So, he asked Xiao-Jiang to bring the liquor jar he had made to be auctioned as the next item. When the cork that was covering the jar was opened, the smell of the liquor that had been distilled from the finest ingredients wafted from the jar and immediately scattered the entire hall before Xiao-Jiang hurriedly closed it.

Gulp!!!

"Can't believe the smell of liquor is so sweet. Just a little inhalation can make my saliva flow like this!"

"Even just now, I also felt a slight increase in my energy!!!"

"Good stuff, good stuff!!!"

As soon as everyone felt the aroma of liquor, their worries and doubts completely disappeared. It immediately turned into a desire instead. Not only was the smell so good, but this liquor also helped increase the energy level. That was because this liquor jar was made from a water elemental spirit stone that directly affected its spirits. After all, liquor was a type of water as well.

Moreover, the herbs and blood of the monster beast were so well refined that they matched perfectly, even further enhancing its efficiency. So, this liquor could be called a good elixir because each gulp that you drink could greatly increase the energy of the drinker.

"And now, everyone can probably see that our item is top-class. Of course, the next item is the same. But now, let's start bidding on this jar of liquor. The starting price of this liquor jar is 5,000,000 monster crystal coins!"

Oh!!!

"Starting with such a high price? That's too much!!"

"That's right, this one has money, and that one also has money. Everyone has money. This is... too much!!"

There was a continuous buzz as everyone heard the starting price of the jar because its starting price was even more expensive than the Immortal Green Poison Solvent. Of course, it would be impossible for an antidote to be more effective than such a flavorful and enhanced energy elixir like this.

10,000,000 monster crystal coins!!!

Huh...?

While everyone was shocked at the starting price, the first voice of bidding sounded. And when turning to look at the source of the sound, they saw that the person who bid was actually the Third Prince.

"The Third Prince made such a high bid from the start?" said a middle-aged man who was also sitting in a gold-level special room. This middle-aged man was a person from the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect. He also participated in the previous capital auction. And this time, he also joined the auction because no one would dare to miss something important like this.

Of course, the sects that had participated in the auction at that time all came together this time. And they were also the same faces that Zheng-Fu was familiar with. But they probably would not recognize Zheng-Fu because, in the auction at that time, he transformed into the other one.

"Huh, huh, what a pity we're late. Otherwise, our Rainy Cloud Sect would definitely get a gold-level room on the upper floor!"

"Come on, Master Xiao-Zhong. My sect also got a silver-class room. Just a silver room is already very luxurious and comfortable. It's just that it's on a slightly lower floor. Why do you think so much?"

Huh...?

"Oh, Master Wang-Ke also came!?" Immediately, Xiao-Zhong, the Elder from the Rainy Cloud Sect, turned to look at the voice that spoke to him. His face showed a slightly surprised expression before asking because the person who talked to him was Wang-Ke, the current owner of the Purple Dragon Auction House in the capital.

"Ha ha ha! How could I not come? The In-See Napa Auction House is also a close friend of mine. How won't I come to this event!" Wang-Ke laughed and replied casually. But his answer made Xiao-Zhong feel puzzled and suspicious.

"What do you mean!?"

"Nothing much. I've known Miss Xiao's family for a long time. And a few months ago, I learned that this auction house has grown rapidly. Along with that, there were many great items that even the big auction houses didn't have. But no matter what reason, I think you should pay attention to the auction items.

Otherwise, you might miss them," Wang-Ke said, stroking his chin and giving Xiao-Zhong a sly smile.

In fact, what he said was partially true and partially made up. The true story was that he had known Xiao-Jiang's father. And the made-up story was that his auction house and Xiao-Jiang's had a relationship.

"Bright Sky Medicine Sect offers a price of 30,000,000 monster crystal coins!"

35,000,000 monster crystal coins!

40,000,000 monster crystal coins!

50,000,000 monster crystal coins!

The price of the liquor jar continued to rise. After about half an hour had passed, its price was finally settled by the winning bidder, the Third Prince, who won at a price of 120,000,000 monster crystal coins, which was considered a very high price. But anyway, it was worth the money anyway.

"Alright, let's move on to the next item," Xiao-Jiang immediately started the bid for the next item.

Flap!!!

..............?..............

And this time, when the next item was taken out and placed, there was no buzzing noise as before. But everyone made a face wondering what this item would be. After all, after two pieces, everyone believed with all their hearts that the next item would definitely be a top-class item.

This item that was taken out was contained in a green wooden box just like the first item. It could be said that it looked as if they were the same items. And it was as true as everyone expected. When Xiao-Jiang opened the box, it revealed a green bottle inside. However, the concentration and colour of the potion looked much darker than the previous bottle.

"Everyone is probably wondering why this item looks the same as the item in the first round... Yes, it's also the Immortal Green Poison Solvent, but... its efficiency is much superior and of better quality than the previous bottle. It is able to neutralize the high level of the Immortal stage to the Initial level of the Immortal Soul stage.

The person who concocted it was an Immortal mysterious master apothecary," Xiao-Jiang explained, according to the script Zheng-Fu had written, with almost unmistakable in a very natural and normal manner, as if it were a true story.

"An Immortal mysterious master apothecary?" Of course, the Bright Sky Medicine Sect, which was the apothecary sect, could definitely not be seated still upon hearing that. The middle-aged man, the elder of the sect, exclaimed in shock.

"Then what about the previous bottle, Miss Xiao?"

"The previous bottle is as well, sir, but it's been diluted one level, so it's of lower quality. As for this bottle, it hasn't been diluted in any way, so its quality and efficiency are much higher. And if it doesn't really work as I said, our auction house will gladly refund you tenfold!"

"A tenfold refund!?"

"If this bottle is better than the last one, its price must be higher. Roughly calculating it, they've got to refund at least three hundred million monster crystal coins if it doesn't work!?"

"Miss Xiao, don't waste our time. Let's start the auction. We already believe in your products. Anyway, it must be a good thing, as Miss Xiao said. So, open the price," a middle-aged man from the Bright Sky Medicine Sect immediately cut off the others because now his goal was, aside from elemental spiritual stones, this bottle of antidote.

After he finished speaking, the people from the Serpent Dragon Sect immediately glared at him. If the medicine apothecary or healing sect said something like this, there must be something. That certainly was not good for his sect, which was a poison apothecary sect.

Therefore, the middle-aged man who was representing his sect for this auction immediately rushed to contact his sect with a special communication stone.

"Yes, sir. So, I'd like to set the price of this potion at 5,000,000 monster crystal coins!"

100,000,000 monster crystal coins!

Huh...?

As soon as Xiao-Jiang opened the auction price of this potion, the Bright Sky Medicine Sect had already bid twentyfold higher from the start. This caused the people who were preparing to participate in the auction to halt and immediately turn to look at a gold-level room on the upper floor, which was the Bright Sky Medicine Sect's room.

"Increasing the price twenty times since the start of the auction like this!?"

"They must really want it. So, they offered a high price from the start!?"

Everyone tried to guess why the Bright Sky Medicine Sect wanted this bottle of potion. Most likely, if they could take it to study, they would be able to concoct any form of potion against the poison of the Serpent Dragon Sect.

It was because the most powerful poison of that sect was only the middle level of the Immortal stage poison, while the antidote in the bottle, which was currently being auctioned, could neutralize the poison from a high level of the Immortal stage to an elementary level of the Immortal Soul stage. Then, would the intermediate-level poison of the Serpent Dragon Sect have any meaning?
