Nine Yang Sword Saint - Chapter 209
Chapter 209: Sky-High Auction Price!! Obtaining a Giant Sum!
“The first item is a 6th-grade class 1 Beast Soul Elixir.” Su Mei announced.
Yang Dingtian was astonished. Wasn’t his Beast Soul Elixir supposed to be the fourth final item? Why was it the first auction item? Normally, the first item might not be the one with the least value, but it shouldn’t be too far off.
When Su Mei finished speaking, she couldn’t help but take a look at Yang Dingtian’s private room, which was the No. 50 private room.
Soon enough, Yang Dingtian realized that this 6th-grade class 1 Beast Soul Elixir wasn’t his elixir.
A black-clothed man walked over with a jade box. He then opened the box for everyone to see the appearance of the 6th-grade class 1 Beast Soul Elixir.
This was a pink-colored Beast Soul Elixir, while Yang Dingtian’s Beast Soul Elixir was pale purple in color.
Hence, this Beast Soul Elixir was already tempered and nurtured to the limits, and its potential was also 6th-grade class 1.
“300,000 gold coins!” No. 67 private room called out the price, and it was the voice of an ordinary male.
“420,000 gold coins.” No. 25 private raised the bid, and it was a middle-aged man’s voice.
“450,000 gold coins.” It was No. 67 again.
“500,000 gold coins.” No. 25 raised the bid again.
Immediately after, the hall fell into a short span of silence. Su Mei said that a 6th-grade class 1 Beast Soul Elixir would have the price of 500,000 gold coins.
Su Mei said, “Guest No. 25 made a bid of 500,000 gold coins. Is there a higher bid?”
A few seconds later…
“530,000 gold coins.” No. 67 bid again.
Su Mei raised her delicate hammer and said, “Guest No. 67 made a bid of 530,000 gold coins. Is there a higher bid?”
No one responded.
Su Mei asked again, “Is there a bid higher than 530,000 gold coins?”
There was still no response. It seemed like No. 25 didn’t wish to bid a higher price.
“Three! Two! One!”
“Sold! Congratulations to Guest No. 67 for auctioning the first item in this auction, a 6th-grade class 1 Beast Soul Elixir!” Su Mei congratulated.
Immediately after, a black-clothed man walked up, closed the jade box containing the 6th-grade class 1 Beast Soul Elixir, and removed it from the stage.
“Now, we will carry on with the second item of the auction. Sky Spirit Mystic Wings!”
Instantly, slight gasps could be heard in the hall.
Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but ask, “Master, what is this Sky Spirit Mystic Wings? It seems like it is rather incredible.”
Dongfang Niemie explained, “Those are the wings from a very special demonic beast. Half of the demonic beast’s body is made of energy. Its actual body is real, but its wings are made of energy. After capturing this demonic beast, the Sky Spirit Mystic Wings could be taken off and fit onto a human’s body, allowing the human to fly like a bird in the air.”
“Ahh…” Yang Dingtian was astonished, “It is so incredible. It sounds very rare. Why is it the second item of the auction?”
Dongfang Niemie laughed and said, “Because it cannot fly high and is around the height of a few hundred feet. It cannot fly fast either and is inferior to riding a horse. After a span of one or two years, the Sky Spirit Mystic Wings would lose its effects. Hence, its decorative usage is far more than its practical usage.”
No wonder!
Indeed, when the second item’s auction was started, no one called out a price.
Su Mei’s charming voice said, “The Sky Spirit Mystic Wings has a base price of one million gold coins. Is there anyone to make the bid?”
Still, no one called out a price. It seemed like it was going to be a failed auction.
“Five million gold coins.” Suddenly, a hoarse and alluring female voice echoed from the No. 1 private room.
Yang Dingtian’s mind flickered for an instant.
This woman’s voice was truly captivating and filled with mesmerizing attractiveness.
It was unknown who she was. It was just a decorative toy, but she was willing to purchase at such a high price. Furthermore, the base price was only one million gold coins, and there was basically no one contesting for it. She actually called out for five million immediately.
Moreover, she was in the No. 1 private room, and it was obvious that she was a very important figure in today’s auction.
“Guest No. 1 made the bid of five million gold coins. Is there a higher bid?”
“Three! Two! One!”
“Congratulations to Guest No. 1, you have obtained this precious Sky Spirit Mystic Wings.”
“Next up is the third auction item, the 6th-grade Magic Mystic Elixir. The base price is one million!”
“Two million!”
“Three million!”
“Five million!”
Before Yang Dingtian could react, people were already bidding and had caused Yang Dingtian to be rather astonished.
“Master, what is the usage of this 6th-grade Magic Mystic Elixir? Why are there so many people contesting for it?” Yang Dingtian asked.
“It is used during the breakthrough to the Martial Mystic class.” Dongfang Niemie explained.
“Ahh…” Yang Dingtian cried out in surprise, “This thing… Will eating it help someone to directly breakthrough to the Martial Mystic class?”
“Of course not.” Dongfang Niemie said, “There are many individuals with limited innate talent. After they cultivated to the nine star Great Mystic Martial Master, they wouldn’t be able to break through to the Martial Mystic class no matter what. Not even after two, three, or ten years. Hence, if they are to use this Magic Mystic Elixir to rush a little, there might be good chances for them to break through to the Martial Mystic class. Once they broke through to the Martial Mystic class, they would be able to cultivate into a nine star Martial Mystic, making them an expert. Hence, they are using the money to buy the chance to become an expert. Of course, such an item is useless to you. A talented person with your Nine Yang Mystic Meridians will never be able to understand the hardships and pain of a person without talent.”
Yang Dingtian instantly laughed while feeling embarrassed.
“8 million!”
“8.1 million!”
“8.2 million!”
Ultimately, the 6th-grade Magic Mystic Elixir was sold for the price of 8.39 million. The person who bought this elixir had spent 8.39 million to buy the possibility to become a nine star Martial Mystic class expert.
Just like this, the time elapsed gradually.
As each item was sold, the prices called out had gotten higher.
The attractive female voice that Yang Dingtian was looking forward to hearing again from that woman in the No. 1 private room didn’t echo again. She simply bought one pair of Sky Spirit Mystic Wings.
This auction had a total of more than twenty items.
The most expensive item that was sold was a tube of Sea Devil Flood Dragon’s blood, which was sold for the sky-high price of over 30 million gold coins.
Dongfang Niemie said that this item could reform the mystic meridians. There was a large possibility that a martial artist’s mystic meridian innate talents would increase by a grade or two.
It meant to say that a person with 7th-grade low-level mystic meridians might be able to increase it to 7th-grade high-level mystic meridians. Thus, it was truly a valuable item, but it was still no use to Yang Dingtian. For Yang Dingtian, who had the Nine Yang Mystic Meridians, this item was useless.
Su Mei looked beautiful even when drinking a mouthful of water. Afterward, she left for a moment, and when she quickly returned, she had already changed into a golden skintight long dress, making her look even nobler.
“Next, we will be entering the highlight of the auction. There are a total of five priceless items!”
Yang Dingtian could obviously feel the temperature rising in the air. There were many who felt suffocating as most of them were here for the five treasures.
Yang Dingtian was invigorated! His heart had suddenly felt tensed up.
The entire auction’s climax was finally here! Apart from the 8th-grade mystic skill, Devil Flame Saber Art, as the final item, the rest of the four items were in a random sequence. Hence, Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but feel expectant for the first item.
“Next, is the No. 5 auction item, a potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir!”
As soon as Su Mei finished speaking, the auction hall instantly burst out with exclaims.
A potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir would mean that it could subdue a Master class martial soul, which also meant to say that Master class experts would be worthy of having this Beast Soul Elixir.
Without a doubt, Yang Dingtian’s potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir was just like a giant stone thrown into the pond, causing an ecstatic response.
There was a kind of treasure that even if you couldn’t use now, you would still want to have it. The potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir was an item of that kind of treasure.
Yang Dingtian’s heart was racing uncontrollably. He didn’t expect that his potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir was going to be the first item among the five treasures.
Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but hold his breath while waiting for someone to call out a price.
Yang Dingtian’s chances of buying the Devil Flame Saber Art would be up to the selling price of this 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir.
Five seconds have passed.
Ten seconds have passed.
Fifteen seconds have passed.
The auction hall was in silence. No one was calling a price. There was actually no one calling a price out.
Yang Dingtian was astonished. Why was it like this? It was such a valuable treasure, but no one was calling a price? Could it be no one actually needed it? Please don’t let this be the case. Yang Dingtian was fully relying on this 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir to earn money.
Su Mei smiled and asked, “Potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir. Is there someone to make a bid?”
Still, no one made a bid. Yang Dingtian’s heart was rapidly turning cold as ice!
“13 million gold coins!”
A few seconds later, someone finally made a bid, and it was guest No. 3 who had never made a bid.
It was a man’s voice, and it sounded rather young. It was a voice filled with natural superiority and arrogance.
Yang Dingtian’s heart loosened but was slightly disappointed. This price was truly not considered high.
“15 million!” Immediately after, No. 5 made a bid.
“17 million.” Guest No. 12.
“19 million.” Guest No. 5.
“23 million.” Guest No. 3.
“25 million.” Guest No. 5 immediately raised the price.
“28 million.” No. 3.
“29 million.” No. 5.
Instantly, it had become a price war between No. 3 and No. 5. It had entered a state of gridlock.
As the price got higher, Yang Dingtian’s heart beat faster.
“45 million gold coins!” No. 5 gritted his teeth and spoke. It was obvious that this price was quickly reaching his limit.
Su Mei said that Yang Dingtian’s 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir should be around 50 million. Right now, it was at the price of 45 million and should be reaching its limit.
“48 million!” Guest No. 3… This arrogant young man’s voice was filled with anger.
“49 million.” No. 5’s voice trembled, and every word seemed to be spat out.
“53 million!” No. 3 immediately responded with a voice that was icy cold and determined.
“Bang…” Yang Dingtian could hear the sound of something crashing from the No. 5 private room.
“Young Lord Ye is truly determined to obtain it.” The middle-aged man in the No. 5 private room spoke coldly.
The arrogant young man in the No. 3 private room was this Young Lord Ye. Yang Dingtian didn’t know which faction’s young lord he was. But if he could spend such a huge price to purchase a Beast Soul Elixir, the faction’s influence must be rather significant.
