The Lord of the Universe

Ch.78 - Huo Cai

“This object is named Elixir, arguably a pill but in liquid form. A benefactor entrusted us to auction this item. It is hard to believe but we guarantee that what we say is fluid!..

The starting price of this Elixir is 10 million low-grade Qi crystals, the price increase is at least 1 million in each offer!..

Alright, with this offer at start!”

“15 million crystal Qi...!”

“17 million crystal Qi...!”

“22 million crystal Qi...!”

The guests immediately gave a price offer that continued to surge nonstop. Everyone wanted that Elixir, especially those sects who were middle to upper class who only had a few Martial Lord level cultivators.

By obtaining that Elixir and making the cultivation of one of the Martial Lord level cultivators increase, it could make a huge change for their Sect.

While the lower class Sects could only be spectators. They also wanted Elixir yet what power, their money was not even up to 10 million Qi crystals, while the price of Elixir was now already over 30 million Qi crystals.

“40 million low grade Qi crystals!”

An ordinary guest gave an offer that left the other guests speechless. It could be heard that many were cursing slowly venting their frustration at having already reached the limit they could offer.

“40 million low-grade Qi crystals from the Sky Sword Sect! Is anyone bidding higher?” Huang Yu's gaze traced the ordinary guests.

“Hahaha, that Elixir belongs to me!” the last guest bidding earlier laughed triumphantly.

“50 million low grade Qi crystals.”

Until finally he fell silent after one of the VIP guests gave an offer. He could only resign if the VIP guest had already made an offer.

Even though he could bid even higher he would not dare to fight VIP guests to clash over bidding prices.

Indeed, auction rules prohibit threatening or intimidating anyone using force or background. But it is common knowledge that those in the VIP room must be part of the 7 great powers of the Chenwu Continent.

By fighting them, bidding the price is tantamount to offending them. If the great powers were offended, their sect could be destroyed later.

So rather than risking destruction it's better to let go of whatever it is. Life is more important than any treasure.

“70 million crystal Qi!”

“75 million crystal Qi!”

The VIP guests started to make their offers. Martial Lord level cultivators were indeed not very rare in their sects, but it was still that Martial Lord level cultivators could not be underestimated.

Just one additional Martial Lord level cultivator for them was already extremely advantageous. So of course they also want Elixir.

Prices continued to rise until they reached 100 million more.

Xiang Shin who was in the VIP room just sipped tea casually watching the other guests trying to get Elixir.

“Eluxir, is that an item from you, young master Xiang?” Xin Yi had already heard about Elixir starting from Xiang Shin, so he thought that Elixir was also from him.

“That's how it is,” Xiang Shin replied casually.

“Excellent, such Elixir turned out to be able to make a Martial Lord level cultivator break through a single stage. Even I have never heard of any pill as great as that,” Xin Yi tried to seek attention because ever since the auction started Xiang Shin had always been silent.

“Ya actually Elixir would also not be able to make a Martial Lord level cultivator break through a single stage if not for it being the first time they consumed it.”

Level 8 Elixir prices continued to rise until they reached the 200 million Qi crystal mark.

“400 million low grade Qi crystals!”

The atmosphere was instantly silent as guests in VIP room number 2 offered a price.

“400 million crystal Qi, is anyone willing to bid higher?” Huang Yu waited for a response from the guests for 10 seconds but everything was silent.

“Because no one bids higher then the guest in VIP room number 2 wins this Elixir! Congratulations to VIP guest number 2.” Huang Yu closed the tray that was still held by the young servant beside her.

The waiter immediately exited the stage through the back, delivering the goods to VIP room number 2.

In the current VIP room number 2, there were 2 middle-aged men sitting on chairs, near the dividing glass stood a beautiful girl with long black hair unraveling.

“Congratulations young lady, you should be able to break through to the late stage Martial Lord level with that Elixir.”

Two middle-aged men who were sitting on chairs, stood up then cupped their hands respectfully.

“Among the young master and young miss 7 great powers, I am the one who is most left behind. I don't want to continue being at the Martial Lord level, I want to as soon as possible reach the Martial Overlord level,” the girl said in a flat voice.

The girl was the young miss of the Southern Poison Sect, Huo Cai’er, and the two middle-aged men were the Sect Main Elders in charge of protecting her.

The two Elders looked at each other. Indeed their young miss cultivates the lowest among the successors of the 7 great powers, but her age is much younger than theirs, so it is only natural that her cultivation lags behind.

When compared to the others, he should be the most talented because at the same age, the successors of the 7 great powers had cultivation under him.

***

VIP room number 5 where Xiang Shin's place is currently.

There was a knock on the door from outside.

“Let me check it, young master Xiang,” Xin Yi stands up then walks open the door.

Xin Yi saw a young servant.

“Where is young master Xiang?”

“There are inside.”

“This is a dimensional ring containing 400 million low grade Qi crystals according to the price of Elixir belongs to young master Xiang.”

“Alright, I'll give it to him.”

The young maid slightly lowered her head then walked away. Xin Yi closed the door and walked over to Xiang Shin.

“Young master Xiang, this is the price payment Elixir young master.”

Xiang Shin took it with a faint smile. With this his capital to buy auction items more and more. He did ask that the first item at auction was his Elixir so that he could obtain capital.

***

On the auction stage.

“Well we dig into the 2nd item...”

The next item at auction was a middle-class pill. It was a new type of pill belonging to the God Pill Sect.

Those middle-class pills were completely unwanted by the VIP guests so the ordinary guests were fighting over them.
