"I believe many men here will be interested in today's second item …"
The auctioneer removed the red cloth covering the display case, revealing an exquisite bottle the size of a palm.
Lin Huang stared at the bottle for a long time. There was nothing special about it. It was just an ordinary jade bottle. The patterns engraved on the bottle gave it a sense of beauty, but in reality, they were divine patterns used to seal auras.
However, Lin Huang could clearly feel that many of the men present were breathing heavily when they saw this item.
What they coveted was probably the item inside the bottle.
Just as Lin Huang was feeling puzzled, the auctioneer finally announced the name of this item — Desire Water!
Hearing this name, Lin Huang was still confused. He had never heard of such an item.
Fortunately, the auctioneer seemed to have considered that some people did not know the origin and use of this item, so he began to explain.
"Desire Water is a very rare and special potion. The bottle you see before you is also something we obtained by chance at the auction. We do not have a stable channel to obtain it.
"There are two main reasons why this potion is so rare. First, there are very few Apothecaries who know this recipe. Currently, there are probably only two or three people in the entire God Territory who can concoct it. The other reason is that its main ingredient is the blood of an Abyssal Desire, which is extremely difficult to obtain! "
Hearing the words Abyssal Desire, Lin Huang was stunned.
Desire was a type of calamity. It was derived from extreme desires and Abyssal energy.
"Can a potion made from the blood of such a thing really be used?" Without the auctioneer's explanation, Lin Huang had already guessed the effects of the so-called Desire Water.
No matter how cleanly the Apothecary removed the Abyssal energy and negative emotions, just the main ingredient of this potion would not be able to be auctioned or sold properly.
It could only be put up for sale in an underground auction.
Not long after, the auctioneer finished boasting about the rarity and difficulty of concocting the potion, he finally began to talk about the potion's functions.
He spoke extravagantly, but it was not much different from what Lin Huang had guessed.
This thing was a powerful aphrodisiac that also had a strong hallucinogenic effect.
The auctioneer even admitted that it was slightly addictive.
However, Lin Huang scoffed at the word 'mild'. One could imagine how addictive it was to Heavenly Gods and True Gods who were not very powerful if it could cause addiction to half-step Lords.
Even if one didn't look at the main ingredients and only looked at the potion's effects, the various major powers wouldn't allow this potion to be sold through official channels.
What left Lin Huang speechless was that Shen Yu and Shen Jue had also participated in the auction. The two of them had even competed against each other a few times.
In the end, the two of them seemed to have reached some sort of agreement and stopped bidding against each other.
This bottle of Divine Desire Water was also bought by Shen Jue at the high price of a Pseudo-Dao artifact.
This made Lin Huang covet the storage rings on Shen Yu and Shen Jue's hands.
Looking at the generosity of the siblings, he knew that the two of them were definitely rich.
After the second item was sold, the auction quickly continued.
Lin Huang finally understood why the auction could only be held underground as he looked at the items that were auctioned one after another.
Among the auction items, there were unpurified Abyssal creature limbs, exclusive items obtained from various major organizations, even grade-7 organizations, as well as various cursed items of all shapes and sizes. There were even half-step Lord bodies of unknown origins …
The entire auction was in full swing, and the sound of bids rang out incessantly.
In order to prevent anyone from noticing anything amiss, Lin Huang called out many times as well.
The items he called out included exclusive items from the Combat God Temple and Death's Scythe, two cursed items, and three half-step Lord bodies.
To be honest, he was really interested in the three half-step Lord bodies. This was because, according to the auctioneer's description, the God Territories within the three bodies were perfectly preserved and had not been stripped away.
However, in the end, he did not manage to bid for a single item. There was no way he could outbid them at all.
Of the three bodies, Shen Jue had won the female body. The remaining two male bodies were bought by Shen Jue.
As for the two of them, their bids were also unimaginably high.
For the female half-step Lord body, Shen Jue's final bid was seven Pseudo-Dao Weapons.
For the two male bodies, Shen Jue's bid was also six Pseudo-Dao Weapons.
The others could not outbid him at all.
Seeing their bids, Lin Huang could not help sighing to himself, 'Are Pseudo-Dao Weapons so worthless these days?!'
After the auction of the three half-step Lord bodies ended, the auction finally entered the next stage — the auction of living creatures.
As soon as the auction began, a huge cabinet was moved onto the auction stage.
The auctioneer removed the red cloth. A cylindrical, transparent crystal sealed a pitch-black monster.
Lin Huang's pupils contracted slightly when he saw it.
He had seen this monster in the Abyss not long ago. It was an Abyssal monster called a Mosha.
Its combat strength was usually that of a high-level Heavenly God, and it majored in Shadow Elemental Truth. It was extremely skilled in assassination.
Although the one before him was sealed by the crystal, its aura could still be faintly emitted through the crystal. It was obviously still alive.
Lin Huang could sense that this Mosha's combat strength was only seventh-rank.
Although its combat strength was not high, if it were in the Abyss, this fellow could even severely injure a ninth-rank heavenly god-level powerhouse if it successfully launched a sneak attack.
A living creature like this was definitely a dangerous item!
Lin Huang felt that anyone who bought something like this would be courting death.
Even an Imperial Censor would not be able to tame it.
This was because this monster only had murderous intent in its head. It did not have a complete consciousness. All living creatures were its hunting targets.
However, he had not expected that after the auctioneer had finished his introduction, the sounds of bidding would still continue.
After that, Lin Huang watched speechlessly as the Abyssal monsters were sold off one by one. He had no idea why these people were buying these living Abyssal creatures.
'Are they so bored that they're buying them to feed themselves and their families to the Abyssal creatures?' Lin Huang could not help complaining to himself.
After the auction for the Abyssal creatures ended, the auction for the living creatures continued.
It was already midnight, but the auction did not look like it was going to end anytime soon.
Lin Huang continued to wait patiently. In fact, there were a few times when he had wanted to make a move, but he had restrained himself.
This was because even when they were bidding for the half-step Lord's remains, the siblings, Shen Yu and Shen Jue, had not been overly excited.
If he were to make a move under such circumstances, it was very likely that the siblings would be alerted.
He wanted to wait for an opportunity when their attention was completely drawn to the auction item.
Since Lin Huang had not made a move yet, at around one in the morning, the auction smoothly entered its final round — the slave auction!
Lin Huang noticed that even before this round had officially begun, the siblings, Shen Yu and Shen Jue, were clearly in a different state from before. Even their sitting posture was no longer as languid as before.
"My chance is coming …" The corners of Lin Huang's lips curled up slightly.
