However, to everyone's despair, the bidding didn't stop when the price reached 6,000,000 gold coins. Instead, it continued to rise. However, as the price got higher and higher, the speed of the bidding finally slowed down.
Tedya of the Dark Blade was the first to give up bidding. Although it was a rare opportunity to curry favor with Sendros, he wasn't confident that Sendros would be able to take advantage of the opportunity to gain benefits from it, given Sendros' unpredictable character. He wasn't confident that the benefits he would gain would be worth the effort.
When the price reached 7,000,000 gold coins, Arathor, the castellan of Roland City, also gave up. Although he was known as the wealthiest castellan in the Breezy Plains, 7,000,000 gold coins was his limit. Arathor wasn't a gambler, and he wouldn't bet all his wealth on a potion that he didn't know the effects of.
The bidding continued, and only Prince Hilary of the Ledin Kingdom and Robio, the person-in-charge of the Glittergold Trade Union of the Breezy Plains, were left bidding.
At this point in the auction, Prince Hilary's face turned sullen. Although he was the prince of the Ledin Kingdom and had a huge amount of wealth in his hands, he spent money at a speed that was unimaginable to ordinary people due to his love of collecting strange things.
Hilary rubbed his throbbing temples with his fingers while quickly calculating his net worth in his head. He wasn't afraid of spending money. With the resources he had, he would be rich again in a few days even if he spent all his wealth now. However, the problem was that the auction house wouldn't allow people to pay in installments. Regardless of how much money they could earn in the future, they only cared about how much they could pay now.
The other party bid 8,500,000 gold coins, and William had already called out for the second time. Hilary took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down. In a nonchalant tone, he said, "9,500,000 gold coins!"
Although Hilary had already raised the price by a million gold coins, his tone showed that he still had a lot of money, and it wouldn't be a problem for him to double the price. He hoped to use this method to scare off the other party.
However, the problem was that Robio had the support of the entire Glittergold Trade Union. In this world, who could compete with the Glittergold Trade Union in terms of wealth? It might be an exaggeration to say that the Glittergold Trade Union was the richest in the world, but one should not forget that the Glittergold Trade Union could not only control their own money. Anyway, they just had to hand over the money to William after completing the auction. It didn't matter who was in the money.
"Ten million gold coins!" Robio announced a price that everyone had been waiting for a long time.
From the moment the auction price broke through the 6,000,000 gold coins mark and continued to rise, everyone in the venue had a thought in their minds. Where would the auction price stop? Would it break the 10,000,000 mark?
Now, it was finally here! It would be difficult for anyone to break such a record in the future. A nameless potion concocted by an amateur pharmacist was actually auctioned off for 10,000,000 gold coins. Had the entire Anril gone mad?
Hilary shook her head and sighed as she sat back in her chair. She was really an idiot. She had nothing better to do than to compete with the Glittergold Trade Union in terms of money! Actually, he had been hoping that he would get lucky. If the Glittergold Trade Union had sent their boss, Hoffman, there would be no need for the auction to continue. His money was still with the Glittergold Trade Union. If he were to continue fighting, who knew if they would use his own money to crush him …?
William raised the small hammer in his hand, and smashed it down heavily in front of everyone. This auction could be said to be the most exhilarating one he had ever had in his life. The transaction amount of 10,000,000 gold coins was very likely to become an unprecedented record that would never be broken in the future.
Lin Li closed his mouth, and turned to look at Wilkinson and the rest, who were looking at him with reverence in their eyes. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Actually, he didn't expect that the potion that he had concocted casually would be auctioned off for 10,000,000 gold coins.
However, although he was surprised, Lin Li didn't feel guilty at all. As the person who concocted the potion, he was the only one who knew the effects of the potion. 10,000,000 gold coins was actually not too much of a loss for him.
This was definitely not Lin Li blowing his own trumpet, because the potion didn't come from any known formula. Instead, he had a sudden epiphany when he was reading the Book of Eternity recently, and had a deeper understanding of the relationship between magic and potions. He found some similarities between magic and potions, and even vaguely touched the realm of a Divine Smith. Hence, he concocted the Myth Potion on a whim.
Although Lin Li hadn't given the Myth Potion to anyone after it was concocted, the effects of the potion could be deduced after it was concocted.
After a mage drank the Myth Potion, his mental strength would be distorted and mutated, thereby stimulating the growth of his mana. Moreover, this effect would last for a very, very long time. It could last for a year or even two years. Such a long period of rapid growth of mana could even allow a Magic Shooter to reach the realm of an Archmage.
It seemed that the effects of the Myth Potion were similar to the Rune Potion that Lin Li had concocted in the past. They could both help Magic Shooters who couldn't break through to the realm of an Archmage.
However, the principle of Arcane Magic, Arcane Magic, and Rune Potions that were used to break through to the next realm was to overdraft one's potential, and thus achieve the effect of breaking through to the next realm. The side effects were also very clear, and that was that the user would forever be stuck in the same realm without any hope of advancing.
However, the Myth Potion was different. Just like the magical crystal of the Evil Eye, its effect was to stimulate the growth of mental strength, and thus achieve the effect of breaking through to the next realm. It could be said that the effect of the Myth Potion was to increase one's potential, and the difference between improvement and overdraft was huge.
The Myth Potion was developed by Lin Li alone, and there had never been such a potion even in the Endless World that he had been in before he transmigrated. If news of it were to spread, it would probably cause a huge uproar in the pharmaceutical field of Anril.
As the owner of the Tower of Dusk, Lin Li had such a potion that could rapidly increase the abilities of mages, but he didn't leave it for the mages under him. It was not because he couldn't bear to part with it. Although the potion had been auctioned off for 10,000,000 gold coins, the actual cost was not something that Lin Li couldn't afford.
The main problem was that it was Lin Li's first time concocting the potion, and he wasn't very confident about its effects. As for whether there would be any serious side effects after drinking it, that was something that he didn't know yet.
However, it didn't matter if he didn't know, because someone had spent 10,000,000 gold coins to buy the glorious opportunity of being a guinea pig. If he didn't suffer from paralysis after drinking it for another year or so, Lin Li could consider supplying a few bottles to the mages of the Tower of Dusk.
However, what troubled Lin Li was the ingredients needed to concoct the Myth Potion. The most important ingredients, the Heart of Winter and the Sunrise Rose, could not be found in the Breezy Plains.
No … not only in the Breezy Plains, if Lin Li remembered correctly, these two ingredients could not possibly survive in the Felan Kingdom. Like the black lotus, they both needed extreme environments …
He could only wait for the Seven Leaf Grass's caravan to return, or find time to visit the Tree of Emerald.
Just as Lin Li was thinking about this, there was a knock on the door.
"President Felic, Robio from the Glittergold Trade Union would like to see you. Are you free now?" Robio asked respectfully from outside the door. He had spent 10,000,000 gold coins on a potion that he didn't even know the name of. When he went to look for William, he found out that Mage Felic from the Tower of Dusk had also come to the auction. It was a good chance for him to ask what the potion was used for.
"Oh, it's Mr Robio. Please come in." Lin Li knew that Robio was the person-in-charge of the Glittergold Trade Union in the Breezy Plains. The two of them originally had a business partnership, but the Tower of Dusk's business was managed by Gavin, so they had never met.
"President Felic, I'm really sorry. I just heard from Master William that you came to the auction, so I rushed over to greet you," Robio said politely.
Lin Li invited Robio to take a seat, and then asked about Hoffman's recent situation.
"President Felic, it's like this. I have something to consult you about." After the small talk, Robio got to the point. Although it was all because of Hoffman's orders, Robio was still a true businessman. The biggest characteristic of a businessman was that even if he spent a copper coin, he had to know where that copper coin was spent on.
Furthermore, it was not a copper coin, but a whole 10,000,000 gold coins.
If these 10,000,000 gold coins were to be taken out from the vault of the Glittergold Trade Union, it would be enough to form a small hill.
Robio felt that if he didn't figure out where these 10,000,000 gold coins were spent, he would not be able to sleep for the next 30 to 50 years …
"I call this potion the Myth Potion. After drinking it, it has a very strong effect on the mental strength of a mage. By distorting mental strength, it stimulates the growth of mental strength. You should also know that mental strength is very important to mages, so the growth of mental strength means … "Lin Li did not hide anything, and explained the effects of the Myth Potion to Robio in detail.
