Chapter 159: I Must Have It!
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
"Six hundred thousand? How can it be only 600,000?"
Lu Li was confused. He felt his efforts were wasted and he was out 100,000 Xuan Crystals. Plus, he had to pay the auction house a commission. The Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and Netherworld Roots worth a million Xuan Crystals could only get him 400,000 Xuan Crystals this time. Such a huge loss…
Lu Li quickly called Zhan Yang to ask. The latter indifferently said, "Since you cannot give the three million Xuan Crystals, then all the bidding was ineffective. The price of course is set as the first offer."
Lu Li was speechless. His actions were futile, and he even lost an extra 100,000 Xuan Crystals. Zhan Yang looked to his sides and whispered to Lu Li’s ears, "Young Master Lu, I have a message from Zhan Hang to you. Don’t do anything impulsively. The products are yours. You cannot participate in the bidding nor can you raise the price like this. Since you have never been to an auction before, we will let this time pass. Don’t put us in a difficult spot…"
Lu Li showed him the jade token which was given by Zhan Hang. There were numbers on it. Zhan Yang could tell who Lu Li was in an instant.
Lu Li was embarrassed. His identity was exposed. He felt like he was captured red-handed. It was indeed over the line to increase the price of his own products.
Zhan Hang left without saying anything else. Lu Li was so upset that he almost wanted to leave. However, he still had to settle his bills with the auction house. He had to sit there sulkily. He wanted to anger Bai Xiashuang for one time so he could vent his rage.
The auction went on. The items were still rare Mystical Materials. Lu Li didn’t have knowledge about them, but he didn’t care about them, either. But the prices were skyrocketing now. The lowest price was at about 400,000 or 500,000 Xuan Crystals.
Bai Xiashuang didn’t make any more offers. So based on the situation of today, she was only here to do something against Lu Li specifically. Many people in the private rooms participated. Their voices were young. They should be young masters and ladies of some families.
"Okay!"
After another item was sold, Yun Ji smiled and said, "There are only three treasures left now, the grand finale of the auction today. Please take a close look at them."
One treasure was carried up. It was an ancient chariot. It was not golden in color, but violet gold. It was very impressive and mighty.
Yun Ji said with a smile, "The ancient chariot was discovered in a historical site half a month ago. Based on our evaluation, this is the chariot that the Dragon King, the Overlord of the Northern Desert, had given his daughter 10,000 years ago. It is of historical significance. The auction now begins. The base price is one million Xuan Crystals."
The item was really a representation of the grand finale. Ancient chariots were valuable as such. This one was the one the famous Dragon King had given to his daughter, which was very meaningful.
The price got high at once. Many wealthy guests in the private rooms upstairs made their offers one after another. The price was lifted to more than two million soon.
"Three million!"
A beautiful voice came from private room No. 1. People fell into silence. Bai Xiashuang made an offer again which signified that she had her heart set on the ancient chariot. Who dared to take away the thing she liked?
Lu Li wanted to whoop up the price out of instinct, but he swallowed down his words. He clearly knew that if he did anything impulsive again, he would be beaten up and carried out by people of the auction house.
No one else made an offer. Bai Xiashuang got it at a price of three million. Lu Li thought to himself that a young lady of a Super Family was really something. She could spend several million Xuan Crystals at one go like this.
"Congratulations, guest in private room No. 1."
Yun Ji said. She then smiled mysterious smile and continued, "The next item to be auctioned is very strange. We have asked many men to evaluate it, but we cannot identify it. But there is one thing for sure—this is definitely something wonderful."
Yun Ji’s word aroused many men’s curiosity. Lu Li was intrigued. Yun Ji waved her hand and a beautiful maid came up. She held a red cloth which was wrapped around a container like a jade vase.
"Please pay attention!"
Yun Ji suddenly unwrapped the red cloth. A small jade vase showed up. The jade vase was transparent. There was no pellet or Mystical Grass in it, just a drip of blood.
The blood was dark in color, and it was floating in the jade vase. Yun Ji held the jade vase in her hand and she slowly poured her glistening Xuan Energy in.
The most miraculous thing happened—
It was as if the blood in the vase suddenly had a soul. It was swimming around in the vase, and a surge of horrible qi and energy comparable to that of a powerful warrior of the Eternal Realm permeated the entire room. Many people felt like their blood was boiling.
"Origin Blood Essence!"
Many people were shouting. Only Origin Blood Essence of powerful Xuan Beasts could have such mighty qi and energy and move.
Excitement showed up in many people’s eyes. Even though it was only one drip of the Origin Blood Essence, but it would do great help to cultivation and constitution if one could get it.
"I want it. I must have it!"
At this moment, it was as if Lu Li was going crazy. He uttered some words in a hoarse and deep voice. There were some faint silver glare in his eyes.
He was feeling strange all over his body while his blood was boiling. There was only one idea in his mind—he must have the drip of blood.
Because…
The drip of blood made the silver dragon on his back move violently. There was some information in Lu Li’s mind telling him that getting the drip of blood would do great good to his Silver Dragon Bloodline!
The feeling strangely came from nowhere, but it was clear and definite. Lu Li made up his mind in an instant. He would get the drip of blood at any cost.
The Xuan Energy disappeared from Yun Ji’s hand. She said with a smile, "You have good eyes. That is right! This is a drip of Origin Blood Essence which has so many functions. It can only be beneficial to a warrior without any harm. However, I will be frank with you—we are not able to identify the specifics of the drip of the Origin Essence Blood. We don’t know which Xuan Beast it belonged to or which rank the Xuan Beast was of. Therefore, what the effect is going to be like after you consume the blood or if anything weird is going to happen are not certain. We will not be responsible for those incidents. The auction begins now. The base price is a million Xuan Crystals. Every time you up the offer, it cannot be less than 100,000 Xuan Crystals."
Yun Ji’s words caused the attention of many people. The improvements brought along by the Origin Blood Essence of different Xuan Beasts were varied. If this Xuan Beast had toxics, then its Origin Blood Essence might be poisonous. The warrior who consumed such blood would likely die at once…
Or perhaps this Origin Blood Essence had the properties of fire. A warrior would be burnt to death as soon as he consumed such blood. Many things could happen. So, many people became less interested immediately. Nobody dared to risk with life.
The Origin Blood Essence was precious, especially so if it came from a powerful Xuan Beast. The Origin Blood Essence of the Xuan Beast King at the Ice Abyss attracted so many Super Families to fight over for it. Even big forces of the Cyan Plains got involved in it.
Xuan Beast Kings were few and far between, so the blood here must have not come from a Beast King. Or else, it would have caused a huge sensation at the Thousand-island Lake.
If it came not from a Xuan Beast King, so the rank could not be determined, nor could the properties. Then the value of the blood decreased hugely.
An old man stood up and asked, "Yun Ji, I want to know where you got this Origin Blood Essence? Why can’t you identify its origin?"
Yun Ji answered with a forced smile, "We got the Origin Blood Essence and the violet golden ancient chariot from the historical site together. When we discovered it, it was already in the jade vase. Therefore, we cannot tell its origin. It has been stored for a long time, so we cannot identify which rank the Xuan Beast was of."
Yun Ji’s words cost many people’s interests. It had been stored for such a long time, so the qi and energy in it must be diminished. Of course, the most critical thing was that if they did not know its properties, what would they buy it for?
"One million Xuan Crystals!"
That being said, someone made an offer, a Young Master from a private room upstairs. So it would seem that the Young Master would rather make the mistake than let it slip way. He must intend to study it after he bought it.
"Three million!"
A hoarse voice came up which astonished many people. Some fool had increased the price by two million? A rise in price would not usually done like this…
When people looked to where that voice came from, they were speechless. The one made the offer was that idiot in the Ghost Mask.
He was already heavily fined a while ago when he bid three million Xuan Crystals. How was he daring to make another offer now? Was he not afraid that the auction house was going to let him be carried out after a beating?
