Under the auspices of the old man, the auction gradually reached its climax. The auction items were displayed one by one, and then they were all auctioned off in the heated bidding. Among the auction items, there were magical accessories, magical metals, and art pieces. There were even female slaves of various races. The variety was quite diverse.
The most popular item was the Magical Crystal Cannons made by the dwarves, which were definitely divine weapons for naval battles. The first climax of the auction was also caused by the Magical Crystal Cannons. After the Magical Crystal Cannons were displayed, the entire auction hall was in an uproar, and the people from various forces were all vying to bid for the items.
However, the liveliness really couldn't arouse Lin Li's interest. Although the auction items were indeed very precious and rare, that was only for ordinary people. Although Lin Li had spent almost all of his collection on the Sky Castle in order to transform it, he was still disdainful of the auction items.
In particular, the Magical Crystal Cannons that were being fought over seemed to be better than the Magical Crystal Cannons made by the Dwarf Kingdom thousands of years later, and might even be comparable to the cannons of the Gilded Kingdom's alchemical battleships. However, after witnessing the superb firepower of The Star, Lin Li really couldn't arouse much interest in the Magical Crystal Cannons.
Besides, Lin Li was probably not the only one with such thoughts in this auction. At least a dozen items had been auctioned off, but none of the people in the private rooms on the second floor had made a bid. Presumably, those items were not tempting at all. After all, the people who could sit in the private rooms on the second floor were far from comparable to the people in the main hall. They should be the real top figures on the island, and there might even be big shots of the Sea Clan among them.
Just as Lin Li was feeling bored, the old man hosting the auction took out a new auction item, which turned out to be a potion that emitted the aura of life.
"This is a Life Commendation potion made by the pharmaceutics Master Karoteri. The most precious thing is that a drop of the sap of the Tree of Eternity has been added to it, allowing the effect of this Life Commendation potion to be increased by dozens of times. Even an ordinary person will have a lifespan of no less than 1,000 years after drinking this Life Commendation potion. " The old man raised the potion high and displayed it, causing the potion in the crystal bottle to emit a brilliant light under the light. It immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Of course, the most attractive thing was the effect of the potion that the old man had mentioned. If it was just an ordinary Life Commendation, it would at most extend one's lifespan by a few decades. It was basically unattractive to powerhouses above level-15. However, this Life Commendation could grant one a lifespan of close to a thousand years. This was simply too heaven-defying.
In particular, some people might be only one step away from the Legendary-realm. Once they stepped into the Legendary-realm, they would have a lifespan of thousands of years. However, it was quite a pity that their lifespan had already reached its end. However, with such a Life Commendation spell, one would gain thousands of years of lifespan out of thin air. Even the stupidest person would have the opportunity to step into the Legendary-realm, and there would be no more regrets.
Besides, even Legendary powerhouses would not complain about their lifespan being too long. If they could have another 1,000 years of lifespan, it might not be impossible for them to step into the Sanctuary-realm. This extra 1,000 years of lifespan also meant that there were countless more possibilities. It was definitely enough to make anyone go crazy.
Most importantly, the Life Commendation was mixed with a drop of sap from the Tree of Eternity. Hence, it was not just a matter of extending one's lifespan. The reason why the High Elves were so powerful was because they could often bathe in the power of the Tree of Eternity, causing their bodies to be tainted with the aura of the Tree of Eternity. In that case, if someone could absorb a drop of sap from the Tree of Eternity, their achievements would probably be much higher than those of the High Elves.
Hence, after the old man announced the starting price of the Life Commendation, everyone in the hall went crazy, and raised the number plates in their hands desperately. In the blink of an eye, the price of the Life Commendation spell increased by dozens of times.
However, as the price was pushed up step by step, there were also people who continuously withdrew from the bidding. After all, for some people, even if they could gain nearly 1,000 years of lifespan, they would not lose all their wealth. Besides, there seemed to be another point. The increase in lifespan didn't seem to be easy to verify. Unless they returned after 1,000 years and let others know that they had really lived for 1,000 years, who could guarantee that the potion would really give them 1,000 years of lifespan?
Besides, no one could guarantee that they would always be safe. After all, everyone made a living at sea, and God knew when they would encounter trouble that they couldn't cope with. The Life Commendation could increase one's lifespan by 1,000 years, but there was no guarantee that one could live for another 1,000 years no matter what. If one were to be beheaded, they would definitely die even if they drank the Life Commendation.
However, there were also some people who didn't care about these issues. For those who were truly wealthy, they would not hesitate to spend a large amount of gold coins for the sake of psychological comfort even if the Life Commendation did not have such a good effect. Besides, the Brian Auction House obviously had a good reputation on Cage Island. Even if they took out a glass of water and claimed that it was some magical potion, there would definitely be people who would be willing to spend a lot of money.
Finally, when the bidding in the hall gradually became a little quieter, the real big shots in the private rooms on the second floor also participated in the bidding for the Life Commendation. What really piqued Lin Li's interest was not how much the big shots bid, but the fact that the people in the hall began to whisper and talk about the big shots.
In particular, there was a foreign magnate who had probably just arrived not too far away from Lin Li's seat. He was the only one who continued to raise the number plate in his hand when there was almost no one else in the hall participating in the bidding. However, just as he was about to raise his number plate again, one of the people next to him who might have brought him to the auction anxiously pulled him back.
"Do you want to die? Do you still want to stay on this island in the future? The big shots up there have already started to bid, and you still dare to join in." After that person pulled the wealthy merchant back, he lowered his voice and spoke in a very nervous tone.
"What's wrong? Isn't this an auction? Are we not allowed to buy anything?" The wealthy merchant's movements slowed down as he asked his companion with a puzzled expression.
"Didn't you see that no one else is raising their number plates? It's fine if it's the other big shots, but the key is that there's a big shot of the Sea Clan among the people who participated in the bidding just now. He has always hated people competing with him for things. He might not do anything to other big shots, but if he wants to deal with an outsider like you, I'm afraid he'll be able to make you die a horrible death with just a flick of his finger, "the man warned the magnate nervously.
"A big shot of the Sea Clan?" The magnate was not clueless. Since he had come to Cage Island, how could he not know how terrifying the power of the Sea Clan was? Hence, after hearing his companion's warning, he immediately shrunk his neck in fear, and dared not raise his number plate again.
A big shot of the Sea Clan? Hearing the conversation between the two of them, Lin Li's interest was immediately piqued. Didn't I want to know more about the Sea Clan? Who else would know more than a big shot of the Sea Clan?
At the thought of this, Lin Li looked at the number plate in his hand, and raised it when the old man on the stage called out for the second time. The number plate that Lin Li raised seemed extremely abrupt in the hall, so much so that the old man on the stage couldn't help but be stunned.
While the old man on the stage was in a daze, the others in the hall also discovered that there was actually someone among them who dared to participate in the bidding. Immediately, there was a buzz of whispers in the hall. Besides, the people sitting near Lin Li also tried to sit as far away from him as possible, for fear that they would be mistaken for his companions.
After being stunned for a moment, the old man on the stage finally snapped back to his senses, and made a new bid. He also asked if anyone would offer a higher price.
That change obviously made the big shot of the Sea Clan in the private room rather furious, but he was clearly determined to get the Life Commendation. Hence, a slightly cold voice sounded from the private room. "A level-20 magical crystal."
In this era, magical crystals were the real hard currency due to the fact that the casting of gold coins was uneven. A level-20 magical crystal was a magical crystal that had just entered the Legendary-level. However, as long as it entered the Legendary-level, it would mean that the value of the magical crystal could no longer be measured with gold coins. Although a level-20 magical crystal was almost equivalent to 10,000,000 gold coins, 10,000,000 gold coins might not be enough to buy a level-20 magical crystal.
The people in the hall did not seem too surprised by the price that the big shot of the Sea Clan had made. It was because everyone knew that the Sea Clan probably had the most magical crystals. Even magical crystals that were at the peak of the Legendary-level would not be rare, let alone level-20 magical crystals. However, they could also tell from the tone of the big shot of the Sea Clan that he was displeased. Clearly, if the young human continued to compete, he would probably not end up well.
However, Lin Li didn't seem to feel anything. As soon as the big shot of the Sea Clan said that, he raised the number plate in his hand again, and said, "Five level-20 magical crystals."
The people of the Sea Clan had plenty of magical crystals, but Lin Li had plenty of magical crystals too. He could even afford Sanctuary-level magical crystals, let alone Legendary ones. Besides, this time, Lin Li was not really doing it for the Life Commendation potion, but to lure the big shot of the Sea Clan out. Hence, he was naturally willing to pay any price.
It wasn't strange for the people of the Sea Clan to offer Legendary magical crystals. However, the fact that Lin Li offered five Legendary magical crystals immediately caused an uproar in the hall. The main purpose of the people who came to the sea market was to trade the specialties of the Endless Ocean with the Sea Clan, and magical crystals were also one of the important transactions. In other words, many of the people who came here were there to buy magical crystals, which could be sold for more than a few times more if they were sold to the mainland. Hence, they had nothing better to do than to spend magical crystals.
The other big shots sitting in the private room on the second floor immediately gave up competing after hearing Lin Li's offer of five Legendary magical crystals. Although they could afford to fork out more Legendary magical crystals given their strength, it would obviously not be worth it. It was just a potion that could increase a person's lifespan by 1,000 years, and it wasn't worth it for them to affect the development of their forces.
Even the Sea Clan member in the private room was shocked by Lin Li's offer of five Legendary magical crystals. However, five Legendary magical crystals were not enough to make him flinch. Just as the old man on the stage began to call for the first time, he immediately raised the bid to 10 Legendary magical crystals. He had doubled the price all of a sudden, and it was obvious that the big shot of the Sea Clan was infuriated.
10 Legendary magical crystals was a huge fortune even for the Sea Clan. Hence, it could be seen that the Life Commendation potion was definitely very important to the big shot of the Sea Clan.
The tycoon who had participated in the bidding previously glanced at Lin Li carefully at this moment, lowered his voice, and asked the person who had just warned him, "Do you know where that young man came from? How dare he compete with the big shot of the Sea Clan?"
"Hehe, I don't know where he came from, but I know that he's probably going to die soon. Also, his family won't be able to step into this sea market anymore," the man said gloatingly.
"Mr. Taru, can you tell me who that big shot of the Sea Clan is? Why does he have such great power!?" The tycoon couldn't help but be a little surprised. Killing someone to vent his anger was actually not a big deal. What really surprised him was banning a force from entering the sea market. Wouldn't that make him the owner of the sea market?
"That is Lord Othor of the Sea Clan, who is in charge of all the businesses of the Sea Clan in this sea market. Do you think he has the ability to chase a force out of the sea market? Besides, that kid is a stranger, and he can't even tell who Lord Othor's voice is. Clearly, he has just arrived here like you. I don't think any force will stand up for him, "the man named Taru said smugly. The man called Taru said proudly, as if he also had such a great force.
Although the conversation between the tycoon and the man named Taru had been hushed, it did not escape Lin Li's ears. At this moment, Lin Li finally knew that the so-called big shot of the Sea Clan was actually just like a procurement manager. Perhaps he was a big shot in the eyes of these people, but his status was probably not high in the eyes of the Sea Clan.
However, it seemed that Onor was the only one Lin Li could find at this moment. If he wanted to find a Sea Clan member with a higher status, he probably wouldn't be able to find him in this small sea market. Hence, after Lord Othor offered a price of 10 Legendary magical crystals, Lin Li was not interested in wasting time there. He simply raised his number plate, and said, "20 Legendary magical crystals."
