Chapter 1480
Alex paid exactly 19 thousand Saint Spirit stones for the Bottomless Jade Flask. The usage he could get out of the flask was way too important to not be willing to pay that much for it.
He was down a bit of money for sure now. He had to be careful about buying anything right now just in case what he could find at the end was very important.
At this point, he even wanted to learn what was going to be sold at the end, but he wanted it to be a surprise so he didn’t ask anyone about it.
The auction continued for a few more days.
These days, due to the importance of the items being sold, the auctions took longer. Either that or the auction house was forced to fill the remaining time until the end of the month by forcing their auctioneer to slow down the sales.
3 things during this time caught Alex’s attention.
The first was tea, which he could tell belonged to Lady Zhan. He wasn’t aware how she had managed to have it be an item in the auction even though she had only just arrived the day before, but he couldn’t think much about it.
There were many ways for her to do so, being the future empress of the land.
Alex remembered the taste of this tea and wanted to see how it was made. He wanted to find out the ingredients. However, it seemed that was not in his luck at all.
Due to the tea’s attributes, it was sold so fast and at such a high amount that Alex simply couldn’t pay for it at all.
The second thing that Alex found interesting in as a painting about a young man standing high and mighty in the middle of the room, even while surrounded by those that were bigger than him.
He smiled, realizing that this was a depiction of him. Tian Honglui had drawn this piece from what the auctioneer had mentioned and it was one of his best, according to the appraisers.
The painting’s name was Eye of the Storm, representing Alex as the point of calm in the sea of chaos.
He wanted to buy this piece as well. However, with Tian Honglui’s name now following his new title as the only person to ever have 3 paintings featured in the Royal School of Painting’s Hall of Fame, the cost of the painting skyrocketed to over 20 thousand.
Alex could buy the painting if he wanted, but then he would be low for whatever was to come in the future.
He had to give up on the painting too.
Finally, on the 28th day, Alex was presented with a scroll of fighting techniques that caught his eye. It was called the Celestial Moonblade technique.
An obviously exaggerated technique that was capable of using the Yin in one’s body to create an attack. Alex thought of buying this technique as he had no other Yin-based skill during any fight.
The only Yin-based attack he had would be the God-Rending Death Blade, but it was a skill that was carved into Midnight and was not a skill he could use with any other blade.
As such, this would be his first real Yin-based offensive technique. I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
Or so he had thought. When the price increased to go past 25 thousand, Alex was forced to give up. There was absolutely no way in hell he was ever going to pay for that technique when something better was hopefully on the way.
Alex would be absolutely mortified if whatever that was at the end of the auction turned out to be something he didn’t want to purchase.
There would be nothing more sad than that to him. However, Yao Ning had hinted by now that whatever it was, he would absolutely love it. She had also hinted that it wouldn’t just be him that loved it, but every single person out there.
As such, he gladly gave up on the offensive technique and waited the for whatever it was that was coming next.
Next, were his own pills.
Alex was surprised that it had taken this long for his pills to appear, given the weaker ones weren’t that good when compared to everything that was sold.
However, the auction house had decided to sell all of his pills together, so there was nothing he could do about it.
And to his absolute surprise, each of his pills was being sold separately.
There were 5 Saint Lightning Resistance pills, and each one was going to be sold separately.
Hu Biaolin was back to becoming the auctioneer on the 29th day of the auction and would be one until the auction was over.
She started selling Lightning Resistance pills one by one, with the bids starting at 10 thousand.
Normally, no pill would ever be ranked that high, especially one with such a low use case. However, even then, due to the 5 pill veins, no one complained about the pill’s cost and started buying the pills all at once.
The first of the five pills was sold at 22 thousand Saint Spirit stones. It was quite great for Alex.
‘If only I could use this money to buy the other items,’ he thought. But unfortunately, he couldn’t. He also needed to make back the money he had spent to take it back to his own continent.
The second pill was sold at 21 thousand Saint Spirit stones, a little less than the second.
The third one was sold for 22 thousand Saint Spirit stones again, jumping back to the first pill’s price.
It then increased again, going to 24 thousand Saint Spirit stones for the fourth pill.
For the last and final Saint Lightning Resistance pill, the big one broke through the 25 thousand Saint Spirit stones barrier, landing at 26500 Saint Spirit stones, which was surely the most expensive pill that had ever been sold in this world.
More exactly, it was the most expensive pill that had ever been sold in this world… yet.
