Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Fairy Qin Biyu
Lu Zhen paid for the branch as the auction continued, he also obtained the rest of the materials he needed to practice Array forming but they all came at a huge price. His Majesty had given him a thousand gold coins and he was now left with enough coins to last him for a few days but he didn't regret it. It seemed like nothing could attract Mo Zhu's eyes since she didn't bid for anything the whole time.
"Now, the moment that you've all been waiting for." blue liquid in a vial was brought to the stage, "This is Miraculous Water that is capable of healing all wounds especially internal ones, it is also capable of healing the soul and regenerating severed body parts. It is comparable to a second life and its starting price is five hundred gold coins." the lady explained.
" Six hundred!"
"Seven hundred!"
"Eight hundred!"
It was now the competition of people from the VIP going up. "I bid one thousand five hundred!" a young man's voice was heard from the VVIP room. It was a shame since they couldn't see him and no one dared use their divine sense on him because they were afraid of offending him.
"Two thousand! " an old man's voice also rang out in the VVIP room. Some people, especially humble guests, almost fainted by the sheer numbers they kept hearing. "Two thousand seven hundred!" an unexpected female voice sounded in the VIP room. Everyone looked at her room and wondered if the woman was crazy or courting death.
"Lady, are you really gonna go against me for just a litre of water?" asked the old man, no one could tell if he was annoyed or not but the threat was clear. The woman seemed not to care about the old man's threat and retorted, "Only those with deep pockets have the right to speak here old man."
"Oh! Hahaha!" slightly laughed at the old man.
More and more voices were heard as the competition continued, the Miraculous water was obtained by the lady in the end with five thousand gold coins.
The next item that was brought to the stage was sealed blue flames, one could see a faint picture of a snake. "This is a Coiling Python beast flame, it is the first of its kind to be discovered. It is useful in alchemy as it increases pill purity by a warping five percent, it can also be of huge help in battles or aid in cultivation after assimilating with it. Its starting price is one thousand!"
"One thousand five hundred!"
" Two thousand two hundred!"
" Two thousand six hundred!"
The auction house was heated up once again, the price of the beast flame reached astronomical amounts which wasn't that surprising. Pill purity as the name suggests, refers to pureness the pill was, the less impurities it contained, the more energy it contained and yielded better results so an increase by five percent was quite high.
Again, the beast flame was obtained by the lady in the VIP room for ten thousand gold. People even started doubting if there was a mistake in seats. The lady was simply too rich.
Rare items were bought one after the other, most people were just happy to get a chance to even see such rare items. "This is the last item that we will be auctioning off."
A purple flower that looked like an orchid was brought on stage, it was sealed in a transparent container but some of the energy escaped from it, fragrant and exotic. As everyone breathed in, their minds became clear and some had their cultivation loosen a bit.
"This flower is called Purple Royal, our boss was the one that obtained it and he now has no use for it and decided to sell it. It can increase chances of one breaking through to the King Realm by fifteen percent.
WHAAAAATTT!
Chaos ensued within Sweetrose Auction House as everyone couldn't believe their ears, this flower had the ability to increase chances of one breaking through to the King Realm. It was unbelievable, experts of the King Realm could be counted with both hands and those at the Unification Realm were close to none.
"Its starting price will be exactly ten thousand. I'm sure you all know its value and wealth." said the lady and the crowd agreed. They wouldn't complain even if it was sold for a hundred thousand gold coins.
" Fifteen thousand!"
" Twenty thousand!"
" Thirty four thousand!"
All powerhouses were now using their reserves to obtain this flower, if they couldn't get it now, there were high chances that they would never come across a chance like this one again. Some even revealed their statuses and backgrounds even though they were prohibited from doing so but they couldn't care less. Unfortunately for them, no one wanted to give up on it.
The price continued to increase until it reached eighty thousand gold coins, the price was still skyrocketing. It was then bought by another old man for a whopping hundred and thirty thousand gold coins, the old man had even said that he'd owe the young lady a favour just to obtain it.
The auction then ended, some were full of smiles because they had been blessed by a chance to see such treasures while others were frowning. The powerhouses who had mysteriously entered the auction were now slowly walking out and didn't even notice the eyes on them. Just as Lu Zhen's group were walking away, the lady called out to them, Lu Zhen turned around only to be speechless.
The lady had beautiful black eyes that seemed to contain stars within them, her skin was smoother than a feather, she had black hair that reached her waist, her overall body was a sight to behold. She looked like a fairy that came to visit the mortal world. She looked to be in her twenties.
"Good day Miss, is there something we can help you with? " politely asked Mo Chao. Lu Zhen left all matters to him, "I would like to talk about the items bought by this gentleman. Is it possible to trade?"
"No it's not, we're in a hurry so if you'd excuse us." Lu Zhen flat out refused.
"What if I can't excuse you? What will you do then?" asked the lady with a beautiful smile.
"I am unfortunately in need of these items so trading with you is not possible. Please understand." Lu Zhen politely explained.
Before the lady could continue speaking, the young man from the VVIP room slowly approached, he didn't even glance at Lu Zhen's group and spoke to the lady, "I greet Fairy Qin Biyu. I'm a Chosen One from the Five Elements Sect. I've heard a lot about you and would like to invite you for tea if you don't mind."
Everyone widened their eyes when they heard the name Fairy Qin Biyu.
