Not to mention William, even the other bidders, regardless of whether they had won the bid or not, were shocked by the amount of money that had been sold. They had also seen that there were more advanced potions waiting to be auctioned on the stage. The Tower of Dusk would be able to earn a lot of money from this auction alone. In the past, they had only been jealous of the Tower of Dusk's luck in recruiting pharmacists. Now that they had seen the auction price, they were going crazy with jealousy.
"The next item to be auctioned is the Vitality Potion, which can help a Warrior break through to level-15. It will be auctioned in increments. The starting price for the first potion is 50,000 gold coins. Let the auction begin. "The auctioneer picked up the potion from the second row.
In Anril, Warriors were the most populous profession. Compared to mages, the entry requirements for Warriors were much lower. As long as one wasn't physically handicapped or mentally handicapped, one could basically learn Combat Energy and become a sword-wielding Warrior. However, the cultivation of a Warrior wasn't always smooth sailing. Talent was also an important factor in determining one's achievements.
When the various forces of the Breezy Plains gathered at the Tower of Dusk, everyone wanted to recruit the high-level pharmacists of the Tower of Dusk. Hence, they kept sending gifts, but the results weren't very optimistic. Only one person wanted to get a potion that could help increase his strength after sending gifts.
Hence, Ona from the Crimson Legion obtained two potions, and together with his son, they broke through the bottleneck of Combat Energy and reached level-15. In the blink of an eye, a small mercenary corps with only a few hundred members had two level-15 Warriors. That was equivalent to more than doubling their strength. It could be said that Ona was the only one among all the forces who had benefited from the pharmacists of the Tower of Dusk.
The potion that was being auctioned now was the one that could help a Warrior break through the bottleneck and reach level-15. Six potions meant that there were six level-15 Warriors who had the possibility of advancing to level-19. Since the advancement requirements weren't as strict as those of mages, the door to becoming a Sword Sage wouldn't be completely closed just because of the potion. Although Warriors couldn't compare to mages of the same level, they were still a force to be reckoned with.
The Blood of Nature was only used for emergencies, and the benefits weren't immediately apparent. In fact, some people would rather not use it at all. But now, the Elemental Energy Potions were real. Each potion was a portion of strength, and the increase in his strength wasn't fake at all. Therefore, when the auction for the Elemental Energy Potions began, the entire hall immediately exploded. The six Elemental Energy Potions were almost snatched like crazy.
It didn't take long for the six Origin Energy Potions to be sold at a high price. The average price of one potion was more than two hundred thousand gold coins, but two hundred thousand gold coins to buy a Warrior of Level 15 and above was definitely not a high price.
"Congratulations, President Felic. These two potions alone are very popular." William couldn't help but feel a little jealous. He congratulated her politely, but in his heart, he was lamenting how luck could easily make one despair. No matter how hard one worked, it couldn't be compared to a single stroke of luck.
"You're too kind, Mr. William. These are just their usual exercises. It's nothing much," Lin Li said humbly.
Wilkinson and the others at the side were also discussing the results of the auction softly. They all shook their heads and sighed. If they had known that the potions could be sold for so much money, they wouldn't have thrown away so many potions that they had concocted during practice.
William almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Can you please be more sincere when you're feeling sorry for me? That's a potion that's worth millions of gold coins! Don't act like you've lost two copper coins and are too lazy to look for it again to provoke me, alright? Damn it, are you still speaking like a human? Are you trying to kill me!? Two potions are worth more than two million gold coins! Yet, these are the products that they had concocted during practice. You even threw away so many potion bottles. Can I give you potion bottles for free?
William was so agitated that he almost spat out blood. On the stage downstairs, the auctioneer had already begun the auction of another potion. The atmosphere in the hall continued to be crazy and explosive.
The sky-high prices were revealed one after another, and the people were constantly getting nervous. They simply wanted to go to the Tower of Dusk and kidnap all the pharmacists. While they were envious and jealous, some people were thinking about whether they should increase their efforts to recruit the pharmacists from the Tower of Dusk, while others were wondering if there was a problem with the direction they were working in. Ona from the Crimson Legion was actually a good example. He had only spent a small amount of money on gifts back then, but now, the final price of the potions was more than 200,000 gold coins.
"Next, this potion is the most magical potion that I've ever seen or heard of since I became an auctioneer. It's also from the Tower of Dusk, and it was concocted by the respected Pharmacist Wilkinson." The auctioneer picked up the last potion on the stage.
There was silence below the stage. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the small potion bottle, afraid that they would miss a word that the auctioneer said. What effect did this potion have? How could it make the chief auctioneer of the Time Consignment Store give such an exaggerated description? Not only had they never seen or heard of it before, but they had also never seen it before.
The auctioneer looked around the stage with satisfaction. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually very excited inside. The sky-high prices that were being sold one after another made him very excited. If not for William's words, he wouldn't have believed that such a potion actually existed in this world.
"This potion is called Origin because its effect is to lead you to the source of magic power!" The auctioneer suppressed the excitement in his heart and carefully put away the Origin Potion with both hands. Looking at the curious crowd below the stage, he continued, "When a magician takes the Origin Potion, they will quickly enter a strange dream. The dream will last for about a month. In this dream, the mage will be able to master five magic spells that are beyond his level. After waking up from the dream, the details of these five magic spells will still exist in his memory. "
"The starting price of the Origin Potion is 500,000 gold coins. The auction begins now!" The auctioneer announced the start of the auction. However, unlike the bustling scene just now, no one made a sound.
The entire hall was silent. The auctioneer's introduction made everyone a little dazed. Coupled with the sky-high prices of the previous transactions, it even made them feel surreal. Could it be that they were actually sitting here right now, dreaming? The effect of the Origin Potion was simply unbelievable to many people. Learning magic in one's dream? That's too absurd!
There was an awkward silence! The auctioneer was dumbfounded. There were countless auctions held by the Time Consignment Store. According to William's experience, there would be a lot of competition for each auction item. He had never encountered such an awkward silence before.
"600,000!"
Just when the place was strangely quiet, a voice suddenly rang out in the hall.
The bidder was none other than Sienna, who had won the bid for the Twilight Dragon Armor. Sienna was a Warrior, and the Twilight Dragon Armor was of great use to him. The Origin Potion was actually useless to him. However, he knew who the owner of the Tower of Dusk was, and how terrifying that young President Felic was. Anyway, even if no one responded to the bid and he ended up buying the potion for 600,000 gold coins, it would be worth it if he could build a good relationship with that terrifying young President Felic.
Sienna's bid was indeed effective. It was as if a stone had been thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples to form on its surface.
The people who had snapped out of their trance were no longer bothered about the effects of the potion, because that was something only pharmacists could figure out. It was just like a warrior trying to figure out the principles behind a magician's magic. Wasn't that just asking for trouble? You just needed to know that the magician could use magic and be careful not to get hit. Wasn't that enough?
It didn't matter to others how pharmacists concocted potions based on principles. What was important was that the potion had been put on display in the Time Consignment Store through William. What kind of place was the Time Consignment Store, and what kind of person was William? Would he joke around with his reputation? At the thought of that, there was an uproar in the quiet hall again when they thought about the effects of the Origin Potion that the auctioneer had mentioned just now.
"1,000,000 gold coins!" Tedya of the Dark Blade shouted, and the hall fell silent.
Being able to comprehend five magic spells at a higher level was definitely an irresistible temptation for mages. Mana and mental strength were the foundation of a mage, but the strength of a mage was not entirely determined by the foundation. Only by mastering more advanced magic incantations could one better use one's mana and mental strength, allowing one to possess great power.
If the Origin Potion could only allow mages to learn five more magic spells, it wouldn't be worth much. Although magic spells were important, there were still many things that could be learned. The key was the ability to learn magic spells at a higher level. It wasn't as simple as reading a book or reading a spell.
In reality, it wasn't impossible to learn magic spells at a higher level, but it was accompanied by huge risks. If one didn't stand at that height and hoped to see the scenery from that height, they would most likely fall into the abyss if they tried their best. With a limited understanding of nomological power, they wouldn't be able to support the needs of a higher level. Hence, the backlash of mana was inevitable.
