The bid was fiercely ongoing for a while, and eventually, the Soul-Devouring Light Slash saber technique was won by someone with a bid of twenty-two spirit crystals.
Naturally, Lu Yun was utterly dumbfounded by the price.
“This martial arts technique is worth at most only fifteen spirit crystals, but that enchantress is really formidable, increasing its auction price by nearly half within just a few words,” said Duan Qing, squinting under his mask.
Using her mature and charming face, voluptuous figure, and irresistible voice, Liu Yan first stirred up the mood of the martial artists in the auction.
Finally, she brought out the martial arts technique that interests many martial artists, and everyone willingly raised their bids. Even if they couldn’t win the auction, they’d at least have the chance to get a smile from the beauty.
Liu Yan had an iron grip on the psychology of the crowd. She was indeed the chief auctioneer of the Spirit Martial Prefecture’s Purple Gold Auction Douse.
On the brightly lit auction stage, Liu Yan saw that the first auction item had achieved a good result, and her smile became even brighter. With a light clap of her hands, another auction item was brought up by a female attendant.
She lifted the golden-yellow veil from the purple jade plate, revealing several ancient-looking green parchment scrolls.
“Pill recipe!”
As their gazes fell upon the mysterious green scrolls shining under the lights on the purple jade plate, the crowd immediately exclaimed in surprise.
It could be said that most of those attending the auction were family martial artists from the Spirit Martial Prefecture and its surrounding counties. Many of them had come for the pill recipes. Upon seeing the collection of scrolls, their eyes ignited with passion, making the atmosphere even more electrifying than when the first-grade martial arts technique was being auctioned.
While first-grade martial arts were precious, they were not essential for a family.
In contrast, pill recipes held a different significance; they could determine whether a family could cultivate an alchemist or even establish an alchemic inheritance with just one such recipe.
After all, having an alchemist in the family would open up infinite possibilities.
After the initial shock, some people in the venue gradually regained their composure. After all, for the vast majority of martial artists present, even if they could obtain a pill recipe from the auction, they wouldn’t necessarily become alchemists.
Becoming an alchemist is difficult without substantial financial support.
Sitting in the back of the auction venue, Lu Yun heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the pill recipes appear.contemporary romance
As long as he could get his hands on one pill recipe, he would have a free pass to become an alchemist. Later on, with the help of the Alchemist Alliance, he would no longer have to hide when obtaining spirit herbs.
“There are so many pill recipes up for auction at once. Bidding for one of them shouldn’t be difficult. More importantly, it’ll minimize the chances of exposing myself.” Lu Yun mused.
“Hehe, 1 believe everyone already knows what the second auction item is and how precious it is,” said the smiling Liu Yan, as she picked up one of the green scrolls with her delicate hand. “Moreover, the origin of these pill recipes is legitimate, and they are registered with the Alchemist Alliance. I can guarantee that there won’t be any problems.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yun’s eyes flashed with surprise.
As far as he knew, after the establishment of Morigin, the resources of various spirit herbs and medicines had almost disappeared due to the unbridled plundering by sects.
To avoid wasting resources, the Alchemist Alliance was established to limit the spread of pill recipes among the public.
As such, acquiring pill recipes had been very difficult up until now.
The fact that so many pill recipes were being auctioned off at once with the approval of the Alchemist Alliance, it couldn’t help but make him ponder.
“Miss Liu Yan, please announce the price quickly,” urged the impatient people in the auction venue.
With a still enchantingly charming smile on her face, Liu Yan calmly said: “The second auction item consists of ten scrolls, each containing a different first-grade pill recipe. There will be ten auctions in total. Each pill recipe has a starting bid of twenty spirit crystals, and each increment must be no less than one spirit crystal.”
“Tss!”
The price announcement immediately made several people gasp.
Twenty spirit crystals were equivalent to half a year’s income for small families in the county towns. Even for the middle-sized families of Spirit Martial Prefecture, after deducting their family expenses and cultivation resources for their disciples, they didn’t have much spirit crystals left every month.
However, getting just one pill recipe justified living frugally for the next few months.
“Twenty-five spirit crystals!” Someone in the crowd raised their bid, adding a full five spirit crystals at once.
“Twenty-six spirit crystals,” another person countered as soon as the previous bid was made.
“Twenty-seven.”
“Twenty-eight.”
Excitement and eagerness filled the faces of the martial artists in the auction venue as they watched the pill recipes on the stage and heightened their bids. Soon enough, the price soared to thirty spirit crystals.
“Thirty-five spirit crystals,” a middle-aged man in a purple robe said with a powerful voice, instantly silencing many murmurs.
“I hope everyone will give my Zhang Clan of Blue Sun some face and let us have the first pill recipe. I will be most grateful.”
“The face of the Zhang Clan of Blue Sun is worth nothing, how laughable,” sneered a menacing-looking middle-aged man in a black robe from another direction before raising his bid, “I bid thirty-six spirit crystals.”
At the side, Duan Qing couldn’t help but say to the still motionless Lu Yun: “Aren’t you going to bid? Don’t you want a pill recipe?”
