The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 110
Chapter 110: Sky High Price
“How strange, wasn’t it two final treasures for this auction? When did it become three?” Hearing that there are three final treasures, Mu Yao couldn’t help feeling surprised. The information she received clearly said two things. She actually had no idea what the new third thing is!
The corner of Elder Yun’s mouth twitched visibly, “Young miss, at first there were two treasures. But one more was added yesterday. I already told you last night, you actually didn’t hear me?”
Hearing him bring that up, Mu Yao thought back. It seemed there really was such a thing. She quickly looked away awkwardly, “Elder Yun, what could that thing be? Actually coming after a high level soul training technique.”
Elder Yun stroked the small tuft of beard on his lower jaw, saying: “Old me sent someone to find out last night. It’s said that it is spiritual liquid.”
Hearing the last two words, Mu Yao almost shot out of her seat. Her eyes showing intense excitement, “It’s really spiritual liquid? How much is there?”
Elder Yun already guessed that the young miss would react this way. He replies while smiling helplessly, “Old me made some inquiries. The amount of spiritual liquid at this auction is not less than eighty eight drops. This is no small sum because it is auctioned as a single item, the price will be extremely high. The ones that can afford it are probably only the Xiao Yao Sect, Ji Le Sect, and the Xue Sha Clan.”
“That means we can only get one of the three treasures. Elder Yun, is there any news from father?” Mu Yao pondered briefly and frowned.
According to her thinking, eighty eight drops of spiritual liquid was worth a lot. She must definitely not let it go. But if they wanted that, the final treasure would fall into the hands of Ji Le Sect or the Xue Sha Clan. The reason why Xiao Yao Sect participated in this auction was for the final treasure. Now with the appearance of the spiritual liquid, it left them with a very difficult decision.
Elder Yun lowered his voice and said gravely, “The leader wants the spiritual liquid.”
Mu Yao raised her eyes and glanced at Elder Yun’s serious expression. A ray of light suddenly flashed in her eyes. She slowly started to smile, “I understand, Elder Yun. Then we’ll proceed according to father’s wishes.”
Elder Yun nodded contentedly. The young miss of his house was clearly smart, getting it right away.
When they were talking, the price of that volume of [Miraculous Lightning Move] already rose to six million four hundred thousand. A high price invoking the clicking of tongues. But surprisingly the contenders were not just Ji Le Sect and the Xue Sha Clan. There was also an unknown person in black robes. That person was seated on the hard seats on the first floor. His whole body was wrapped in a black robe, obscuring the face.
When he jumped into the fight between Ji Le Sect and the Xue Sha Clan, everyone looked over at him in surprise. This black-robed person actually dared to get into the bidding war between Ji Le Sect and the Xue Sha Clan. He really had some guts. But what was even more shocking was that he seemed to have too much money!
“Ling-shixiong, that person is very rich!” You XiaoMo exclaimed enviously.
“Very soon you will also have money. What is there to be so envious about?” Ling Xiao had never had much interest in gold coins. He also didn’t place much importance on that because he had never had a need for it.
You XiaoMo glanced at him somewhat painfully, “But it will all be spent very quickly.”
This was what made him very depressed. Finally getting a huge sum after all that struggle and there was not even enough time for it to warm up his pockets before it would be completely spent. This kind of feeling was very complicated.
In the end, the [Miraculous Lightning Move] ended up with the dark horse, finally falling into the hands of the person that everyone least expected, the black-robed man. He successfully got that soul training technique with the exorbitant price of seven million and five hundred thousand, beating down Ji Le Sect and the Xue Sha Clan, leaving them with black faces.
“Who exactly is this black-robed person? Sixth Elder, go find out!” Mu YunTian looked darkly at the black-robed person who was calmly sitting back down in his seat, suddenly issuing an order to the person behind him.
Not far away, the representative of the Xue Sha Clan also issued a similar order. They also wanted to know who this black-robed person actually was. Actually daring to snatch from the Xue Sha Clan. If he thought he could take that thing with him, he had to pay the price.
The old man announced the final winner of the [Miraculous Lightning Move] and finally moved to second ultimate treasure. Immediately there was a large reaction because not everybody could be like the Xiao Yao Sect and easily obtain this confidential information. Some people had their channels so they could get information that others couldn’t, like news about the suddenly up for auction spiritual liquid. But most of the people were still completely in the dark.
When the female attendant brought out a sparkling blue transparent crystal bottle, everyone’s eyes were fixed on it.
In the distinguished guest seats, Ling Xiao quickly opened his half-closed eyes with laughter in his eyes, “Xiao Shidi. Your spiritual liquid finally makes its appearance. And the response is not bad.”
You XiaoMo looked at that bottle excitedly. Two big ice sculptures unexpectedly only resulted in one small bottle of spiritual liquid. It was a little surprising but this small bottle of spiritual liquid actually could merit such a high reserve price. It really made him excited.
After going through the previous four hours, You XiaoMo already knew how valuable the spiritual liquid was. From the reserve price alone, this bottle of spiritual liquid far exceeded that whatever [Miraculous Lightning Move].
“This bottle of spiritual liquid is the second to last treasure of the auction. Eighty eight drops in all. According to the seller’s wishes, it will be auctioned as one item.” The old man took that bottle in his hand and explained carefully, “Spiritual liquid has two used. One is to replenish the spiritual energy of practitioners. Two is to increase the success rate when refining magic pills and increase the magic pill’s quality… ”
The unveiling of the spiritual liquid caused an even bigger commotion than the [Miraculous Lightning Move]. The interested people were not just mages as all the practitioners were also incredibly eager. Pairs of fiery eyes fixed on the spiritual liquid in the old man’s hands.
From the initial eight million and eight hundred thousand reserve price, the price shot up. After a bloody battle, the price soared to a sky high price of seventeen million. Almost one thousand times the price of the ‘Miraculous lightning move’. But that was not the end…
After being an auctioneer for so many years, this was the first time the old man got unbearably excited.
Although this was not the highest price in his history as an auctioneer, it was still among the top. Seventeen million was already equal to one month of HunJi City’s revenue.
This price was so shocking that everyone was speechless, not a crow or sparrow could be heard. In the end, only four parties remained in the fight, the Xiao Yao Sect, Ji Le Sect, the Xue Sha Clan, and the one that won the ‘Miraculous Lightning Move’, the black-robed man.
The entry of this black-robed man really gave everyone a shock. After winning a mid-level soul training manual, he actually had enough capital left to bid for the spiritual liquid. It was really an incredible show of wealth!
“Seventeen million one hundred thousand!” Mu Yao glared furiously at that black-robed person. Her face a little distorted as she shouted out an even higher sky high price. Although it was only one hundred thousand, but at this stage, every hundred thousand was really very close to everyone’s limit. So it was better to raise as little as possible.
Mu YunTian on the opposite side finally couldn’t stop his face from twitching. Grinding his teeth, he finally gave up.
Although he really coveted that bottle of spiritual liquid, there was still the final treasure coming up. He was originally after that final treasure but it was really a pity to let go of this bottle of spiritual liquid. Looking at the attitude of the Xiao Yao Sect, it seemed as if they were determined to win. This was also good since when the final treasure came out, the Xiao Yao Sect would not be able to win over Ji Le Sect.
Right at this time, the black-robed man downstairs called out an even higher price, “Seventeen million five hundred thousand!”
An uproar erupted in the auction house. Quite a few people turned around to look at the black-robed man at the back. This person could no longer be described as flaunting one’s riches. He was simply so poor that he was only left with money.
Mu Yao’s face turned completely black. The representative from the Xue Sha Clan was more straightforward, simply giving up on the fight.
You XiaoMo hung on the railing, smiling until his eyes could no longer be seen. The more intense their fight, the more happy he felt. Each time he heard the price climb upwards, he would grin until he could no longer close his lips. It was really like what Ling Xiao had said.
“Bastard! How is it that this guy has so much money?” Mu Yao gritted her teeth, full of resentment.
Elder Yun was also very solemn. He expected Ji Le Sect and the Xue Sha Clan to be strong contenders but he didn’t expect this mysterious black-robed person to actually have that much capital. Such a miscalculation, “Young miss, with how it is going, we can only try to figure out his limit.”
“I understand, Elder Yun.” Mu Yao frowned tightly. This was the only option left.
So, both sides felt each other out, the price finally soaring to eighteen million eight hundred thousand. A whole ten million over the reserve price, coming close to the sky high price of twenty million, already causing a lot of people to gasp in astonishment.
Mu Yao clenched her fists tightly and took a deep breath. This price was already her final limit. If the other party raised the bid, she could only give up. No matter how rich and powerful the Xiao Yao Sect was, they still couldn’t be that spendthrift. This sky high price was already equivalent to one year of Xiao Yao Sect’s revenue.
After Mu Yao put out this price, the whole place quieted down leaving only the sound of people breathing.
The old man on the auction platform took a deep breath. This price exceeded his expectation. His hand shook slightly as he brought up the gavel. Just as he was about to bring it down, that black-robed person suddenly stood up and said in a hoarse voice, “Nineteen million!”
Before Mu Yao could react, You XiaoMo, because of too much excitement, jerked back too strongly, causing him to fall over.
