The auction officially began!
The alchemists were already impatient to bid.
The Accompanying Amethyst Essence was a rare natural treasure that could play a critical role in refining medicinal pills.
Pill King Gu He shrugged and thought to himself, “Fortunately, I brought enough gold coins this time.
I didn’t expect the first item to be the Accompanying Amethyst Essence produced by the Amethyst Winged Lion King.”
“The starting price for each bottle is one million gold coins.
Bids must not be less than one hundred thousand.
Please do not take offense.”
“One million two hundred thousand!” The alchemist from the Izumo Empire was the first to bid.
Everyone in the world knew that the money in an alchemist’s hands was enough to rival a country.
Any random pill of theirs could be auctioned for a sky-high price.
They could easily produce over a million.
Furthermore, King Izumo would naturally not let these bottles of Accompanying Amethyst Essence go to other empires.
If their empire’s alchemists couldn’t afford it, the empire would provide help until they had secured it completely.
However, the Accompanying Amethyst Essence still held a huge attraction for those practicing fire-attribute Qi Methods.
Not only did the alchemists want it, they wanted it too!
“One million three hundred thousand!”
“One million five hundred thousand gold coins!”
The bidding was exceptionally fierce, and the price rose steadily.
Before long, it had reached two million gold coins.
Pill King Gu He also joined the bidding.
He was unwilling to miss such a good opportunity.
Accompanying Amethyst Essence was sought-after but hard to find; it would be a true pity to miss it.
“Two million three hundred thousand.”
At Gu He’s command, Yan Shi beside him understood.
He stepped forward and shouted the price.
“As expected of the Jia Ma Empire’s Pill King Gu He, his moves are truly generous.
Two million three hundred thousand—hehe, together that’s nearly five million gold coins.”
The people from other forces whispered, criticizing Gu He for being foolish.
Accompanying Amethyst Essence was indeed precious, but spending a large amount of gold coins right away was not a smart move.
Besides, there were other auction items coming up.
Zakas, a Rank 5 alchemist from the Izumo Empire, frowned and said, “Damned Gu He!
Do you really think I’m afraid of you!”
As a Rank 5 alchemist, his status was very high, second only to King Izumo.
Moreover, with the support of the empire’s treasury, these bottles of Accompanying Amethyst Essence were a must!
“Three million gold coins!”
Hearing this, Pill King Gu He was so angry he clenched his fists.
It was that old fellow from the Izumo Empire again!
King Izumo’s expression shifted slightly, and he said with some blame, “Master Zakas, the price of two bottles of Accompanying Amethyst Essence has already exceeded the predicted range.
If we continue to bid, I fear trouble will arise.”
Zakas shrugged and said with a devious smile, “Your Majesty, rest assured.
If Pill King Gu He still wants to raise the price, then just let him have the Accompanying Amethyst Essence.
That way, we will have a lead over them in the upcoming auctions.”
“Oh?” Hearing Master Zakas’s reminder, King Izumo immediately gave a thumbs up.
As expected of the president of the Izumo Empire’s Alchemist Association, he was indeed clever.
This way, the other party would surely be severely drained, contributing greatly to the upcoming auctions.
Although Pill King Gu He was angry at the Izumo Empire’s interference, he was no fool.
Through the glass, he had already seen Zakas’s sinister smile—clearly, they were digging a pit for him.
“Old He, are we bidding or not?”
“Since Zakas likes it so much, how can I take away what he loves?”
To the surprise of many, the second-floor box did not speak again.
Pill King Gu He leaned back in his chair, a faint trace of mockery appearing on his wooden face.
Don’t treat everyone else like a fool.
Sure enough, seeing that the other party was no longer bidding, Zakas’s mouth twitched, and his face turned ferocious.
“Damned Gu He, he didn’t fall for it!”
King Izumo’s face wasn’t very good either.
He didn’t expect to be counter-played by the other party…
In the end, these two bottles of Accompanying Amethyst Essence became the property of the Izumo Empire for three million gold coins each.
Jia Xing Tian and the others laughed.
What a donkey!
Although the Accompanying Amethyst Essence was very precious, spending six million gold coins to buy it showed they were truly foolish.
There were only a few drops of essence in two bottles.
If the alchemy process failed, those six million gold coins would go down the drain. Get faster updates on g.com.
“Congratulations to the Izumo Alchemist Association for winning the Accompanying Amethyst Essence.”
“Let us invite the second item.” Ling Long clapped her hands with a smile, and the second treasure slowly rose.
The audience’s gaze shifted from the Izumo Empire’s Dou Huang experts to the crystal stage.
On the stage, Ling Long picked up a scroll made of ancient jade and smiled at the crowd.
“Everyone, the next item to be auctioned is something very few people have seen nowadays.
This is also a Dou Technique, but because the production method has been lost, it is now extremely rare.”
Upon hearing this, everyone already had an answer.
Besides that one thing, they couldn’t imagine any other Dou Technique being lost.
“Flying Dou Technique: Cloud Dragon Wings!”
Just as the words fell, the scroll was opened.
Ling Long said with a cool gaze, “This item is an extremely rare Flying Dou Technique.
It can help experts who have not yet reached the Dou Wang realm succeed in growing wings and soaring between heaven and earth.”
“It is similar to our Dou Qi Wings!”
With that, Ling Long opened the scroll in front of everyone.
It looked like a small pair of dragon wings, covered in dense runes that gave off a mysterious feeling.
Not only that, the scroll even radiated the aura of a dragon-type magical beast, making people’s hearts tremble.
The auction hall became somewhat quiet.
Some people who weren’t very knowledgeable frowned.
Although they had all heard of Flying Dou Techniques, those were only for people below the Dou Wang level.
The weakest people present were Dou Ling experts, and they clearly weren’t interested in these so-called Cloud Dragon Wings.
However, the imperial family and other Dou Huang experts became interested.
Although they could no longer use this Flying Dou Technique, as long as they gave it to their descendants, they would be able to fly like a Dou Wang expert.
This was a rare treasure.
Moreover, Flying Dou Techniques were indeed lost.
Finding one was not easy, and high-grade Flying Dou Techniques were even rarer.
It seemed the Flying Dou Technique “Cloud Dragon Wings” was second only to the Earth Class Low Level, and its flying speed even far exceeded some Dou Wang experts.
This treasure must be obtained!
“Because of the integrity of this item, after careful study by our Heaven Ascension Pavilion Master, the price is set at two million gold coins.”
