"The first auction item is a low-rank inner armor, the Black Scale Armor. Warriors below the Astral Reaching Realm can increase their defense by more than ten percent. Besides that, the Black Scale Armor itself is extremely tough, almost indestructible. The base price is fifteen thousand low-rank soul stones, and each increment must be no less than one thousand low-rank soul stones." The auctioneer took off the silk cloth on the round plate and said loudly.
'Low-rank inner armor?'
Ye Chen touched his chest. He was also wearing a low-rank light armor. If it were not for this low-rank light armor, he would have taken a Gold Shattering Finger attack from Mr. Jin in the Heavy Mysterious Mountains, and it would have broken more than just a couple of ribs. After all, Mr. Jin was an experienced Late Clasping Yuan Realm warrior, and the Gold Shattering Finger was a mid-rank Earth Realm finger art, which was quite powerful in breaking defenses. Even if Ye Chen had trained his King Kong Jade Body, it would still be hard for him to block it head-on.
While Ye Chen was thinking, the price of the Black Scale Armor kept increasing. Soon, it had broken through the thirty thousand mark, reaching thirty-two thousand low-rank soul stones. This price was basically twice of the other low-rank great weapons. But, it was not that surprising, since life-saving items were always very precious, especially when battling with beasts. Having a low-rank inner armor was definitely the most important thing.
But of course, everything had its price limit. When the price of the Black Scale Armor reached fifty thousand low-rank soul stones, no one raised the price anymore.
One after another, the auction items were sold, and the atmosphere was getting heated up.
"Five Fire Yuan Crystals. The Fire Yuan Crystals contain extremely pure fire yuan qi. Warriors who train fire element martial arts would not need to spend much effort to absorb the fire yuan qi and turn it into their own zhen qi or zhen yuan. According to my estimation, each Fire Yuan Crystal is equivalent to fifteen thousand low-rank soul stones. Therefore, the base price of five Fire Yuan Crystals is seventy-five thousand low-rank soul stones. Each increment must be no less than five thousand low-rank soul stones. The bidding starts now."
"Eighty thousand!"
"Ninety thousand!"
The rich Clasping Yuan Realm warriors made their moves, and they were all Late Clasping Yuan Realm or even peak-level Late Clasping Yuan Realm warriors. Normal Clasping Yuan Realm warriors could not even get fifty thousand low-rank soul stones, so naturally, they would not be able to compete.
Inside the VIP room, the Fire Spirit, who was sitting next to the Black Crow Man, raised his hand. "Two hundred thousand."
Once this price was out, everyone went silent. There were actually Late Clasping Yuan Realm warriors who could take out two hundred thousand low-rank soul stones, but it would definitely be a huge loss for them. After all, they would still need a huge amount of low-rank soul stones in the future, and they would not be able to spend all of them at once. Plus, they would not be able to compete with Astral Reaching Realm warriors in terms of wealth. Just like the auction of the sword-shaped plant, if that Astral Reaching Realm warrior did not participate in it, thirty million gold would be the highest price, and it would not be able to reach one hundred and fifty million gold. For Astral Reaching Realm warriors, besides mid-rank soul stones, everything else was nothing.
In another VIP room, Tian Hao and the Supreme Elder of the Alchemist Sect were sitting together. As for Meng Chao, he was still recovering from his injuries. The old man said slowly, "Two hundred and fifty thousand!"
The Fire Spirit continued to increase the price, "Three hundred thousand!"
"Astral Reaching Realm warriors are all so rich!" In all fairness, after losing the wealth that he had gotten from the goat head mountain, Ye Chen would not be able to compete with the Astral Reaching Realm warriors at all. The sword-shaped plant would definitely be bought by that Astral Reaching Realm warrior.
Guo Lanyue glanced at Ye Chen, "Only you would be stupid enough to compete with an Astral Reaching Realm warrior."
Ye Chen forced a smile. He knew that she was still thinking about this. His thinking was very simple. He would not let go of anything that could increase his power. The true spirit continent was a world of powerful warriors, not a world of wealth. If he did not know what was more important, he would lose everything sooner or later.
"Three hundred thousand has already surpassed the value of the fire yuan crystals. There is no point in continuing." The Supreme Elder shook his head and stopped bidding.
In the end, five fire yuan crystals landed on the Fire Spirit's hand.
"The twenty-fifth auction item, a Fire Dragon Fruit. Although the Fire Dragon Fruit has the word 'fire' in it, it is not a spirit fruit with a fire element. It is just a name. Besides, the Fire Dragon Fruit does not contain yuan qi, but a huge amount of spirit qi. Spirit qi is the same quality as zhen qi. Warriors can easily convert the spirit qi into their own zhen qi, and they do not need to train it hard. This means that you can save a lot of time to accumulate zhen qi. For example, if you are at the Early Clasping Yuan Realm, one Fire Dragon Fruit could help you reach the peak-level of the Early Clasping Yuan Realm. Of course, the Fire Dragon Fruit is not omnipotent. It can only increase zhen qi quickly, but it cannot help you make a breakthrough. Everyone, please remember this, in case you say that the Gold Tripod City Auction House is cheating you."
The auctioneer explained the effects of the Fire Dragon Fruit in an orderly manner.
Putting down the teacup, a smile appeared on Ye Chen's face. The Fire Dragon Fruit was finally out. Right now, he was at Mid Clasping Yuan Realm. If he wanted to reach the peak-level Mid Clasping Yuan Realm, he would need a lot of accumulation. If it was slow, it might take more than a year, and if it was fast, it would take at least half a year. For him, it would be way too long.
"Your competitors are all Clasping Yuan Realm warriors. Normally, Astral Reaching Realm warriors would not participate. The Fire Dragon Fruit would not have much of an effect on them. However, without three to four hundred thousand low-rank soul stones, you would not be able to get it. A lot of people did not participate in the bidding before because they wanted this Fire Dragon Fruit." Guo Lanyue said.
Ye Chen said, "Since there are no Astral Reaching Realm warriors competing, then this Fire Dragon Fruit will definitely be mine."
"So confident?"
Guo Lanyue frowned. She did not understand where Ye Chen had gotten so much wealth from. After all, soul stones were not like gold, which one could have as much as one wanted. The soul stones were collected from the spirit fountain, and each party would not have too many spirit fountains. The true spirit continent's spirit fountains were also quite limited. Every time one was used, it would be one less. However, gold was not a consumable item, it would only flow from one party to another.
"The base price of the Fire Dragon Fruit is one hundred thousand low-rank soul stones. Each increment should be no less than ten thousand low-rank soul stones. Friends who are interested, please bid!" The auctioneer said with passion.
"One hundred and ten thousand!"
"One hundred and thirty thousand!"
"One hundred and fifty thousand!"
Almost as soon as the auctioneer spoke, the price had increased by fifty thousand.
Ye Chen rarely made his bid earlier, so he bid two hundred thousand.
"Young master, this brat is a powerful competitor for you." The ghost head said to the teenager.
The teenager sneered, "He had spent one hundred and fifty million gold before, which must have included low-rank soul stones. I do not believe that he would be able to compete with me." This time, he had brought three hundred and fifty thousand low-rank soul stones, all for the Fire Dragon Fruit. The sword-shaped plant was just an accident. Plus, he did not bid as hard as he could. Thirty million gold was the limit that he had in mind, and the rest of the low-rank soul stones were for the Fire Dragon Fruit.
"Two hundred and twenty thousand!"
The teenager bid.
"Damn it! I will risk it! I had only reached Late Clasping Yuan Realm three months ago. Without any surprises, it would take me at least two to three years to reach the peak level."
In the crowd, a low-profile Late Clasping Yuan Realm warrior raised up his hand and yelled, "Two hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Damn! I will give up! I will just train slowly!"
"That's right! Two hundred and fifty thousand low-rank soul stones is way too shocking."
All of the people who participated in the bidding sat down dejectedly. They were both glad and regretful. They were glad that they had managed to keep their wealth, but regretful that they had missed the chance to get the Fire Dragon Fruit.
"Two hundred and eighty thousand!"
Ye Chen continued to bid.
"Be careful not to get robbed." Guo Lanyue said in a depressed tone.
Ye Chen laughed, "I am almost at my limit."
"I can only use two hundred thousand low-rank soul stones anyway. I will have to explain to the management of the Moon Pavilion after this. But as long as you join us, everything will be fine."
"Then I hope the price of the Fire Dragon Fruit will go beyond my limit."
A cold light flashed through the teenager's eyes as he said with a low voice, "Three hundred thousand!"
As he finished speaking, besides Ye Chen, no one else bid. Three hundred thousand low-rank soul stones would be worth more than one hundred million gold in the Gold Tripod City auction. Outside, it would be one hundred and twenty to thirty million gold. Of course, it was easy to exchange soul stones for gold, but it would be very hard to exchange gold for soul stones. Normally, there would only be a small amount of exchange, and not a large amount of exchange. Therefore, for most of the rich Clasping Yuan Realm warriors, three hundred thousand was a horrifying number.
"Three hundred and twenty thousand." Ye Chen would not give up on the Fire Dragon Fruit.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand."
The teenager's face was extremely dark.
"Three hundred and sixty thousand!"
It would not be like the gold, where it would be ten or twenty million. Ye Chen did not dare to be too reckless.
Sitting heavily on the leather chair, the teenager gave up on bidding.
The ghost head said strangely, "Young master, I still have more than one hundred thousand low-rank soul stones."
"No, no need. I was planning to buy the Fire Dragon Fruit with three hundred and fifty thousand low-rank soul stones. But since he did not give me face, then don't blame me for being cruel." He was different from that Astral Reaching Realm sword artist. Since he could not compete with the wealth, then he would compete with the power. He wanted the other party to pay back the cost with interest.
The auctioneer was a bit disappointed. He thought that the Fire Dragon Fruit would be able to create another record, but it seemed like it would not be possible anymore. But three hundred and sixty thousand soul stones had already satisfied him. In the past, the final price of the Fire Dragon Fruit would be around three hundred thousand soul stones. Sometimes, it would be less than four hundred thousand soul stones.
"Three hundred and sixty thousand going once, three hundred and sixty thousand going twice, three hundred and sixty thousand going thrice. Congratulations again, the friend in the No.7 VIP room." The auctioneer said.
For the second part of the auction, the Fire Dragon Fruit was obviously not the most valuable item. In fact, the Fire Dragon Fruit could not even make it into the top five.
The fifth last item was a high-rank Earth Realm martial skill manual – Sky Splitting Claw, which was bought by an Astral Reaching Realm warrior for thirty-eight thousand mid-rank soul stones. The fourth last item was a whole bottle of healing medicine, which could cure Astral Reaching Realm warrior's wounds extremely fast. In the end, it was bought by the Black Crow Man for forty thousand mid-rank soul stones.
The last three items were even more impressive. They were a mid-rank great weapon, a high-rank Earth Realm martial art manual, and a holy medicine that could have a thirty percent chance of reaching the Astral Reaching Realm.
The mid-rank great weapon was a blue stick, and its final price was forty-two thousand mid-rank soul stones.
The high-rank Earth Realm martial art manual was sixty thousand mid-rank soul stones.
The holy medicine that could have a thirty percent chance of reaching the Astral Reaching Realm once again fell into the hands of the Black Crow Man. Its price had reached an astonishing eighty thousand mid-rank soul stones, which could be exchanged for four million low-rank soul stones in the market, or one billion and six hundred million gold. Everyone in the audience was shocked. Even Ye Chen had to admit that he was not as powerful as the Black Crow Man.
"The Black Crow Man is an inner master of the rank 6 martial institution, the Sky Flying Devil Martial School. His wealth is not something that some of the Astral Reaching Realm warriors who like to travel alone could compare with. This is the benefit of being a member of a powerful martial institution." Ye Chen shook his head and stood up, preparing to leave.
