The Immortal's Wine Store

Chapter 190 - Start Of The Auction

"I wonder what the first item would be? It should not be too shabby, right? After all, this is the Silver Dragon Auction House."

"They even invited Vice Guild Leader Tang to be the host for this auction. That means the Silver Dragon Auction House is going all out in tonight’s auction! There are even some people here who are not residents of Beltran City. They should be here for the treasures that would be auctioned later."

Everyone was excited about the auction, and with a beautiful woman like Tang Tianyin hosting the event, everyone’s excitement was at its peak.

Just then.

"The first item to be auctioned is a Divine Weapon. It is crafted by one of the best blacksmiths of our Silver Wing Empire! This Divine Weapon is a spear and is named as ’Violent Thunder Spear’. The starting price is 500 True Crystals! Every increment needs to be at least 50 True Crystals!" Tang Tianyin tender voice echoed inside the auction house as she announced the first auctioned item.

The price for a Divine Weapon was indeed high and it was even five times more expensive than Jiu Shen’s most expensive wine, the Deep Sea Spring Dew! His wine was indeed helpful when it comes to increasing the speed of cultivation, but it needs to be taken on a daily basis before a big leap in cultivation can be seen. As for a Divine Weapon, only a person in the 8th-rank Divine realm would be able to control its power, and it could enhance someone’s strength by a huge margin depending on the person’s ability to wield the weapon.

"550 True Crystals!" An imposing voice shouted right after Tang Tinayin announced the start of the bidding.

"600 True Crystals!" Another voice which was no less imposing followed after that.

Jiu Shen and Lu Sulan remained silent. The both of them were wearing calm looks as they watched the ongoing bidding for this Divine Weapon.

Jiu Shen has his Baleful Dragon Sacred Sword while Lu Sulan also has her Saint Weapon, so they weren’t really interested in this Violent Thunder Spear. As for the young disciples who are with them, they were not yet 8th-rank Divine realm experts, so this Divine Weapon would only be useless for them.

The bidding for the Divine Weapon finally stopped and the final bidding price was 800 True Crystals. It was bought by a rising noble family in Beltran City.

"The next item is a rare spiritual plant that was found by a top expert near the central parts of the Endless Forest." Tang Tianyin deliberately increased the volume of her voice when she spoke about the Endless Forest.

Everyone’s eyes shone when they heard that. They knew quite a few things about the Endless Forest. It was a place infested by countless ferocious savage beasts, and the most dangerous part of the Endless Forest is its central part. There was a lot of 9th-rank Saint realm savage beasts present in that area and only a few people who went there were able to escape with their lives, but whoever comes back from that place would be able to bring some high-level spiritual plants or spiritual fruits.

The alchemists among the guests immediately became excited. They weren’t here for the weapons or cultivation techniques. They were attracted to this auction because of the presence of some rare spiritual plants and spiritual fruits which were necessary ingredients for the making of their pills and dans.

Looking at the excited faces of everyone, Tang Tianyin smiled as she said. "The next auctioned item is an 8th-rank spiritual fruit called ’Grim Moon Mango’. This is a rare type of high-level spiritual fruit that would only grow after a hundred years and it needs to be nourished by the moon’s light for more than twenty years in order for it to fully mature. It has been many years since the last of this kind of spiritual fruit was seen in Beltran City, so everybody should know the rarity of this. The starting price for this Grim Moon Mango is 1000 True Crystals! Every increment needs to be at least 50 True Crystals!"

It was indeed an expensive price for an 8th-rank spiritual fruit, but no one voiced out their disagreement. This Grim Moon Mango can be used in many different ways, and it is also helpful in increasing one’s cultivation upon direct consumption, but the best way to increase its efficacy was still to use it as an ingredient in making a pill or dan.

"1100 True Crystals!"

"1150 True Crystals!"

"1200 True Crystals!"

"I’m Alchemy Emperor Han of the Alchemy Hall! I bid 1400 True Crystals!" An aged but powerful voice echoed from the first VIP room where the people from the Alchemy Hall were seated. Everyone immediately cursed when they heard him speak of his background. He actually used the name of the Alchemy Hall to deter others from bidding! It was a very bold move, but no one among the minor noble families dared to fight against this behemoth. They would only be courting death if they continued bidding.

"Do you think everyone is afraid of your Alchemy Hall?! Our Xue Family bids 1600 True Crystals for this Grim Moon Mango!" Elder Kuan shouted without fear in his eyes. He might be a bit wary of the emperor, but he didn’t think too highly of the alchemists of the Alchemy Hall since they were not strong when it comes to fighting abilities.

The alchemists inside the first VIP room were incensed by Elder Kuan’s lack of respect.

"Elder Kuan, don’t think too highly of yourself! You’re just a minor elder of the Xue Family! Our Alchemy Hall bids 2000 True Crystals! Fighting using wealth against us alchemists? You must be dreaming if you think that your Xue Family is richer than our Alchemy Hall! Hmph!"

Elder Kuan’s veins protruded when he heard those insulting remarks, but he didn’t dare behave wantonly. After all, this Silver Dragon Auction House was under the protection of the Silveria Imperial Family!

Elder Kuan gritted his teeth, but he didn’t continue to bid. It wasn’t worth it to waste his time fighting with the Alchemy Hall for the Grim Moon Mango. It might be an 8th-rank spiritual fruit, but it needs to be concocted into a pill first to increase its effectiveness.

"2000 True Crystals going once! 2000 True Crystals going twice! Congratulations to the guests from the first VIP room for getting this Grim Moon Mango!" Tang Tianyin smiled as she looked at the first VIP room. There were thin glasses covering the VIP rooms, but everyone could still see the silhouettes of the people seated inside.

Jiu Shen was quite tempted to buy the Grim Moon Mango, but it was still a level lower for the wine that he wanted to brew, so he decided to not join the bidding for it.

’I might be able to see a 9th-rank spiritual plant or spiritual fruit in tonight’s auction. I just hope that it could be used as an ingredient for my wine.’ Jiu Shen muttered in his heart as he glanced at Tang Tianyin who was at the very center of the platform. His expression remained calm, but his eyes shone with a different light. No one knows what he’s thinking.
