Other than the fire crystals, there were quite a few other items that attracted Wang Zhong's attention. In fact, halfway through the auction, he even saw a pair of so-called "dragon eggs", which were actually the eggs of mutated pythons. There was an 80% to 90% chance that these things had been passed down from the empire. If they were to be incubated properly, they would become pseudo-soul beasts that would similarly possess considerable combat strength. Furthermore, they were extremely pretentious, and were definitely the most precious and luxurious pets in the upper society. They were immediately sold for a sky-high price of 10 million credits, causing a small wave of excitement in the auction house.
As the invitees from both sides fought each other with all their might, the Great Axe Auction House was rapidly breaking new records in the history of the auction. Generally speaking, it was already considered a very successful and grand occasion for an auction to reach 200 million credits. However, even before the final segment, the total price had already climbed to 300 million credits!
It had to be said that the Assassin Family had really put in a lot of effort this time. Tumo was extremely satisfied. Under the stimulation of such an atmosphere, everyone was eager to show off their abilities, even if it was just to leave an impression on the important figures. If the Assassin Family wanted to start the construction of the spatial passageway, they would obviously need more funds. As the head of the family, this was the most important decision he had made, and was also a crucial battle for the Assassin Family to raise their ranking.
The final highlight had finally arrived, the special segment for both sides!
The first segment was Teslan's special segment.
The sexy girl carried a small tray onto the stage, and in the tray, there was a bottle of unknown red and green liquid.
"H2D9 type medicine!" When Tony announced this name, the entire auction house instantly turned silent.
The current Federation was at least much ahead of the Radiant Era in the field of biology. H2D was the Federation's research project on longevity. Although the research had failed in the end, there were still many useful things left behind. The H2D type medicine was the most famous of them all, being able to stimulate and accelerate the metabolism of the body's cells in an extremely short period of time, allowing one to regain at least 5 to 6 years of youth. Naturally, the more one used it, the stronger one's body's resistance to it would become, while the effects would become increasingly worse. It wouldn't be a problem for an ordinary person to live for another 20 to 30 years, but anything more than that would be a dream.
Although the recipe had been made public a long time ago, there were only a few people in the entire Federation who could actually concoct it. Firstly, the concoction itself required a very high level of skill. Secondly, the raw materials were hard to find, and the supply could not meet the demand. Therefore, even among the upper echelons of the Federation, it was an extremely precious item. It was even rarer to put it up for auction in such a public auction that was open to the public.
"The main ingredient of the potion is the blood extracted from a mutated old turtle that has lived for at least a thousand years. After being appraised by a team of experts, the potion's potency can reach Grade 3A. The starting price is 5,000,000 Credits, and each increment is at least 100,000."
"5.5 million!"
"Six million!"
"Seven million!" Quite a few of the people present had turned green with envy, as the method of increasing the price was completely different from before. Such an item was something that could only be chanced upon by ordinary businessmen and government officials. Compared to the length of their lives, money was completely insignificant to them. In a short span of 2-3 minutes, the price had already exceeded the previous pair of blue dragon eggs. In the end, Ma Dong's people were the first to let go. After all, this was something that belonged to Teslan, and helping him raise the price too high would be putting the cart before the horse. However, the final price of 20 million still caused a large group of people to feel slightly shocked.
"The second precious item, 3 bottles of Heroic Soul Potion!" When the beauty dressed in palace attire brought the 3 bottles of potion up onto the stage, quite a few people below had already stood up in excitement.
This era had always belonged to those Heroic Soul Soldiers! Powerful martial prowess, a lifespan that was a third longer than an ordinary person, and a long period of youth and maturity. All of these were unique to Heroic Soul Soldiers!
Don't look at the tens of thousands of elite troops on the frontlines of the Federation, who all started out as Heroic Soul Soldiers. However, this was built on the foundation of the billions of people in the Federation. The probability of an ordinary person becoming a Heroic Soul Soldier was less than one in ten thousand. Even those geniuses that were recruited by the various great Heroic Soul Academies due to their outstanding talent and results were all experts of the high level Casted Soul Stage. However, only about 10% of them would be able to cast their Heroic Soul upon graduation. From this, one could see just how difficult it was to break through to the Heroic Soul Stage. However, the Heroic Soul Potion was able to allow a high level Casted Soul Stage person to directly break through to the Heroic Soul Stage! To those people who were stuck at the threshold of their entire lives, the value of this item was basically greater than anything else in the world!
What's more, there were 3 of them! This was basically equivalent to 3 Heroic Soul Soldiers! Such strength was already enough to establish an extremely influential family in the region! One had to know that such an item was usually priceless in the black market. Yet, they were actually selling 3 of them …
Quite a few people could not help but sigh in admiration at the strength of the Assassin Family, while hurriedly taking action. Being able to buy 3 Heroic Soul Potions at the same time was something that they would never encounter a second time in their lives. To the individual financial groups that did not have the support of a large family, what they needed the most was to establish their own influence. Naturally, the price of the potion had skyrocketed. In the end, a local businessman invited by Ma Dong raised the price to the sky high of 36 million credits! This price had already slightly exceeded the value of the potion itself. One had to know that the most expensive Heroic Soul Potion in the black market was only 7-8 million credits. Naturally, there was no market for it!
With 2 high-grade potions being brought out, the people present were about to go crazy. Even those people invited by Ma Dong could not help but take action. Things like prolonging one's lifespan and becoming a Heroic Soul Soldier were usually controlled by the upper echelons of the Federation. The majority of people had only heard of them, but had never seen them. Therefore, it was extremely difficult to buy them no matter how much money one had! Even if they had lost their position, and even if raising the price was equivalent to helping Ma Dong's opponent, it was still extremely difficult for them to control the desire in their hearts. After all, this was their own lifespan and genuine strength.
Following closely behind was another potion, but this time, it was a set of healing potions. This included the Soul Assembling Potion that could repair the collapse of one's Soul Sea, as well as various types of medicine for internal and external injuries. There was a total of 7 potions, a complete set. It was said that as long as one did not die, one of these 7 potions would definitely be able to save one's life.
Even to the various great aristocratic families or the upper echelons of the Federation, such a complete set of potions was extremely rare. In the early days, the Assassin Family had stolen and sold all sorts of precious items, and had started off as an auction house. However, as an assassin family that had once lived in the shadows, their standards and attainments in the creation of various invisible poisons had already reached a considerably high level. After the transformation, the Assassin Family's achievements in the field of high-end potions had always been at the upper echelons of the Federation. This was especially true for their healing and poison potions, which had been renowned in the Federation for over a hundred years. Such a complete set of healing potions was equivalent to buying a life at any moment, and was even more convenient to carry around.
The starting price was set at 30 million, which was immediately won by Gaia with a price of 50 million. The few people that knew him did not dare to compete with him for it, as they were afraid of harming the relationship between them. As for those lower echelons, they did not have the guts to do so. Even if they had bought it at the cost price, they had not made this trip in vain. Next up was the 4th and 5th item.
An S rank Ice Crystal Core instantly obliterated the 2A Fire Core that Ma Dong had contributed at the start of the auction. The final item was actually a large piece of land.
Currently, the Federation did not have much of anything, with the exception of the wilderness. The Federation Parliament did not have enough military forces to clear and develop these lands. Therefore, they had sold these lands in the form of private land to the various great aristocratic families, allowing these private forces to clear and manage them.
In the beginning, such land sales were undoubtedly a loss. However, as the private aristocratic families spent a large amount of money and painstaking effort over the years to develop these lands, coupled with the overall increase in human power, the construction of these lands had already achieved remarkable results, and had long formed a standardized model. The most famous example was Stuart City. In the beginning, it was just a piece of barren wasteland. Now, however, it had already developed into one of the most important cities in the Federation. This had stimulated many aristocratic families to set their sights on this piece of wilderness land. Naturally, this also depended on the type of wilderness it was, and whether or not it had any potential for development.
There were too many powerful and wealthy aristocratic families in the Federation, and the better and more promising lands had long been monopolized by the various great aristocratic families. In this day and age, wanting to obtain a good piece of land was already an extremely difficult task. Unexpectedly, the Assassin Family had actually tossed out a piece of land.
"Rabis Highlands Hills, 300 kilometres east of St. Mongul City." Tony pointed to the topographic map that the two long-legged beauties had unfurled. "It covers an area of 436 square kilometres. At the heart of the highlands is a small D rank walled city, with 162 permanent residents. The entire area of the hills is covered in woodland, with an abundance of timber resources. At present, it has already been discovered that there is a B rank iron mine and a small coal mine that have yet to be developed. The wilderness alert index is at rank 2. The starting price is 100 million credits, with a minimum increment of 10 million credits per call. "
The few great aristocratic families could faintly sense that the Assassin Family was indeed planning to shift their focus to Tianjing. Part of the reason for selling this piece of land was to raise funds. Furthermore, once the family's focus shifted, it would be too far for them to obtain a piece of land in the northern region of the Federation. The most important reason was that they lacked money.
This time, it was Zorn and Campbell who had agreed to come. Other than giving face to Tumo Assassin, the two of them had already set their sights on this piece of land. Therefore, there wasn't any psychological pressure or insider information between the two of them. They had to rely on their own abilities to bid. Upon opening their mouths, they had already doubled the starting price. Their frightening wealth had instantly shut the mouths of the people around them. After all, the Assassin Family was one of the 10 great aristocratic families. Even if it was just a high official that walked out from one of the 10 great aristocratic families, it wasn't something that a small family could compare to. In the end, the astronomical price of 560 million left everyone slightly dumbfounded.
Waves of exclamations of congratulations rang out in the arena, pushing the atmosphere to its peak. Naturally, the people who had managed to obtain the items that they liked were considerably satisfied. One had to know that there were many precious items that couldn't be bought with money. They could only be bought on special occasions, or when some aristocratic families were lacking in money.
"It's time for Ma Dong's special auction. He's actually placed behind Teslan. Could it be that he's able to bring out an even more precious auction item?"
"I've heard that the order of the special auction was decided by the two of them drawing lots. I feel that Ma Dong's a little worried. If the item he brought out after that was inferior to the one in front, that would truly be a slap to the face. Those big shots he invited would definitely lose face."
The buzzing sounds of discussion continued to ring out in the arena. Truthfully speaking, after seeing Teslan's precious items, those people invited by Ma Dong didn't have any confidence in him. In fact, it could even be said to be slightly embarrassed. The only ones that could give everyone a sliver of hope would most likely be Darwin and Musk, who were the last to enter the arena. Being able to cause those two to fight, Ma Dong might be able to produce an astonishing performance. After all, no one would believe that Ma Dong had any sort of personal relationship with those two. The only explanation was that Ma Dong had something in his hands that could attract the attention of those two.
Ma Dong's first auction item was brought up, three portions of Dusty Earth. This was a type of filthy earth found in the high class restricted areas. Other than being used to nurture some special plants that possessed dimensional energies, it was also an extremely precious and versatile medicinal catalyst. The longevity medicine that Teslan had auctioned off earlier could be refined using this filthy earth as a medicinal catalyst. Due to it being extremely rare, it was rather difficult to find it in the high class restricted areas. Therefore, in the eyes of those who knew about it, it was definitely an extremely good item. Usually, during the Assassin Family's auctions, rare and precious raw materials like Dusty Earth were often the easiest to stir up the atmosphere. However, as of now …
There would be no harm if there was no comparison!
Compared to the longevity medicine that Teslan had taken out for the first time, the amount of Dusty Earth was quite a bit lower, with its starting price being merely 1.2 million credits.
Even though there were many businessmen who came to support him and increased the price rapidly, eventually stabilizing the price at 3.2 million Credits, which far exceeded the value of the three Dusty Soil portions, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was just a matter of burning too much money and using it to earn money.
"The good stuff should be at the back. After all, the auction has just started."
"I wonder what the second item will be."
The Gulans Crystal Skull was a mysterious antique that had existed since the age of light. It was said that there were only a dozen or so of them in the world at that time. They possessed a mysterious energy that even the scientists of the age of light were completely unable to understand. In the past, they were considered as national treasures. However, following the approach of the dark era, the mysterious veil of the Gulans Crystal Skull had already been gradually unveiled. After all, compared to the mysteries of the hyperdimension, it wasn't considered much. It was only said that the patterns on its surface were extremely similar to runes, and could be used for research purposes.
However, it was just a collector's item, and was clearly not as attractive as Teslan's medicine that had shown immediate results. As for its scientific research purposes, only a special group of people would be interested in it. Normally, its price would not be inflated too high.
Indeed, when old Potter made his move, other than a few people who had symbolically increased the price by two rounds, the Gulans Crystal Skull was finally sold for a low price of 5 million credits. The third auction item, a rank 7 mutated beast's crystal …
How should he put it? Was it a high-grade item? It definitely was. A rank 7 mutated beast's crystal was definitely not something that could be seen in ordinary auctions. Possessing it did not mean that one had killed a rank 7 mutated beast, as there were fights between mutated beasts. There were also those that died accidentally, and explorers would be able to pick them up. Naturally, those who were able to pick them up and return alive were all extremely lucky.
However, as of now, the usage of this crystal had yet to be discovered. Although its energy was extremely pure, it did not possess any attributes, causing its usage to be limited.
