Commanding Wind and Cloud

Chapter 228: A Whopping Price

Qian Jin paid some attention to the auction order of the heart and moved on to other items. There were a few pieces of first-class Mithril and Refined Gold, for which the base prices were 10,000 gold coins. Quite expensive!

Qian Jin kept skimming through the brochure and gradually came to realize that this auction of Yulee State did have some amazing stuff for not only warriors but also for mages and ordinary people.

A familiar item came into eyes as Qian Jin turned over another page! The first generation Burg Spear, it was shipped here in advance by the Mercenary Union.

Warrior Weapon: Spear;

History: unknown;

Level: 1;

Original Owner: unknown;

Characteristic: Two-way Warrior Power Conductivity;

Price: 5,000 gold coins.

Suddenly, some praising words drifted over with a sigh. “It is actually a good item. But too bad, it has a two-way Warrior Power conductivity…”

“It is quite a helper when in a fight against a well-matched opponent, but to some extent, it will become other’s weapon in the opponent is much stronger than you…”

“Exactly! It would ask for at least 10,000 if it were not for the conductivity!”

“Indeed.”

Qian Jin shrugged his shoulders at those comments. There had been no time left since he was told about this auction not too long ago, otherwise, he might just forge out another Warrior Weapon to make a fortune here!

“Qian Jin, this way!” Fabreidis stepped on the stairs. “The VIP room is up there.”

Qian Jin made a self-deprecating smile as he looked at Marc Gavin. It was reasonable that the Auction House would save a VIP room for the boss of Torrent Battle Fort. Although the organization had temporarily hit the rock bottom, it was still one of the Eight Forces in Yulee State. The Auction House was also afraid that this hulk president might go after them if they didn’t show the respect.

Walking through the second floor, they stopped at the third floor. Qian Jin carefully studied the quotes for the various items while having some fruits in the large lounge. He noticed that there were as many as ten bottles of Roaring Flame Demon Tiger blood on the last page!

For each bottle, they asked for 100,000 gold coins! And this was just a base price! It would definitely go up in the bidding process. Qian Jin could only count on the packaging and group method of his spirit advancement potions, the most desirable way according to Rosella.

Thirty bottles of Level 1 Potion for spiritual advancement, all packaged together, for only one big sale! Words had spread fast! The eight major forces and some small forces of Yulee State, other forces around the city, and even mages from Magic Towers of other cities had all come and gathered here for the potions.

In Rosella’s words, if there had been 30 portions of meat, then all the wolves would measure each other’s strength and get their own share. But if there were not enough food, the wolves might risk everything they owned in order to get what they wanted!

Qian Jin was also afraid that these wolves would privately conjure a scheme in advance, but Rosella had already made a deal with the Auction House that they would keep the base price confidential, along with the packaging method! Otherwise, she would just take the potions away to another city.

Packaging auctions had been seen before and the Auction House also wanted more profits. So the deal had satisfied both sides.

Suddenly a burst of noise came out from the crowd! It was the Mayor, York Leigh and his son, York Hons. They were in the spotlight the second they showed up.

“Sure enough, the father and the son.” Marc Gavin grabbed the glass in front of him, which now might break into pieces at any time. “I have wanted that young man to join the union for a long time! He is a warrior and mage dual trainer who will be a treasure for our Torrent Battle Fort. What a pity! his father is he Mayor! I heard that this kid also encountered Level 3 Spiritual Barrier. He must have come here for the potion.”

Qian Jin turned looked to Marc Gavin with a worried look. “Would people not dare to bid with him because he is the son of the Mayor?”

“The title was nothing! If he was powerful enough, there wouldn’t be such things as the Eight Forces in Yulee State!” Marc Gavin rolled his eyes at Qian Jin. “If people were all afraid of him, why is he still one of the eight forces? That kid has got some brains, but that’s not enough!”

With the passage of time, there were more and more people coming into the auction. They were greeting those around them, availing themselves with the opportunity to get familiar with each other. But they were very clear they would become enemies the moment the auction bell sounded.

A fat middle-aged man in a tuxedo suddenly walked on the auction rostrum and the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down! All eyes were fixed on the gray-hair host holding a wooden hammer in his hand.

“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, nice to see you here.” The fat man looked around with a smile. “Some of you are our old friends, and some of you are new friends. I might just well introduce myself first before the night begins. I am Du Yed, an auctioneer of the auction house. Now, shall we save the pleasant talk and get down to the business? The first item has drawn many friends here! That is, the magic potion for spiritual advancement! ”

A quiet riot was stirred up by the prolog as many people adjusted their sitting position for a better look of the black box under the spotlight.

“This is the first item to be auctioned today, 30 bottles of potion for spiritual advancement!” Du Yed looked at everyone in excitement. “Yes! That is what I am saying! 30 bottles, one offer!”

The small noise suddenly turned into a huge one! 30 bottles sold once and for all? How could it be like this? Did that mean that only one of the buyer would get the potion?

The crowd finally came to understand why the concluding piece was arranged as the first item today!

They were telling everyone there was only one piece of meat! If you wanted it? Then bid! Bid with everything you had!

Qian Jin suddenly felt a little proud of Rosella. How would these buyers behave if they knew the entire situation was planned out by a young girl? “Rollin, I now begin to believe that this beautiful girl, who looks nothing like you, is your sister for sure! Everyone in your Roll Family was born to be in business! ”

“The bottom price is 1,000 gold coins, and each bid cannot be less than the 1,000 in the incremental increase.” Du Yed stopped for a second, “Now let’s put on a show!”

“2,000…”

“100,000!” A rough and overbearing voice directly suppressed the former bid.

Qian Jin was immediately attracted, not for the offer but for the voice. There was dominating as if he owned the entire world.

“The man is called Jun Wudo.” Marc Gavin said without opening his eyes: “The Jun Family is one of the eight forces and the man there is the only leader of the eight forces who like to sit in the crowd to bid. He does not care about the VIP lounge. Of course, it has something to do with his background and his industry. He is in control of all the casinos, thieves and prostitutes in this city. He is the king of the underground The Mayor once went after him but ended up not well!”

The king of the underground? Qian Jin observed the man downstairs who looked a bit familiar. Qian Jin had this feeling that they had met before! He hadn’t left Qian Family a lot when he was a child, then he went to Oakland. It was impossible to meet that kind of gang king there!

All of a sudden, the man sitting in the crowd turned around and grinned at Qian Jin! There was a long scar stretching from his eye corner to the neck, which was particularly hideous with that smile!

“200,000…”

Just the second Jun Wudo turned around, the Mayor’s voice sounded in the room next to Qian Jin’s. It was hard to tell if he was doing this to challenge the king of the underground; after all the voice had a provocation tone to it.

200,000! Qian Jin’s scalp jumped at this price! It was 200,000 gold coins, not as light as 200,000 rice! Why would they spend money so freely, even aggressively?

“300,000.” Jun Wudo bid again with a price people couldn’t even imagine!

Xander could not remain calm anymore; he grabbed his magic wand and raised it above his head, “500,000!”

500,000! Before a burst of surprise could be heard, Ray Gurish had been biting his teeth and shouting out the price of one million!

There! The hall had turned into a chaos! A million! The potion was precious, that was true! But it wasn’t worth 30,000 gold coins for each bottle!

No one knew that Ray Gurish’heart was bleeding! He was sure that no one would dare to scramble for the potion if it were not to be sold in this shitty packaging way! The price of 10,000 gold coins was more than enough for a single bottle! After all, there would be 29 bottles left to be shared by other forces.

This shitty packaging auction! You bid for all or you bid for nothing! Ray Yue had been stopped by the Level 3 spiritual barrier for a very long time! Now due to the presence of Gomez Jane, she was more anxious than anyone! She needed the potion for the revenge!

Moreover, if she could break the spiritual barrier, the following would result in no difficulties until she reaches the Level 6 Spiritual Power! Level 6 Spiritual Power plus the strength of a Level 1 Demon Capturer, what did that mean? Gomez Jane? She wouldn’t do anything!
