Chapter 835: Auction (17)
The aristocratic families did not dare to spend too much money because they had to leave some funds for the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon. After all, the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon was their ultimate goal in their journey to Sun Never Sets.
On the bright red stage, an exquisite staff that was half the height of an average human was placed horizontally on a rack. The entire staff was covered with a layer of faint light, with a fist-sized surmounting magical core at the top of the staff.
Every single one of the magical cores used in the making of the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon was at least a tenth-grade magical core or higher. These magical cores were not something that an ordinary high-grade magical core could compare to, as all the cores that were used were from mythical beasts, so its value was self-evident.
Any of the tenth-grade magical cores on the staff was worth tens of millions of gold coins, let alone an entire staff that was filled with them.
Everyone was excited. Their elegance was completely thrown out the window, releasing their internal savagery. They rubbed their palms as they prepared for another bloodshed.
To raise the price of the previous items, Qi Xia still had to expend some effort to encourage the audience to bid, but for the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon, he did not even need to say anything to make them willing to go bankrupt. There was no need for him to continue with his praises.
The starting bid for the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon was 10 million gold coins. From the starting bid, one could infer that the item’s final bid would shock everyone.
Even the experts who were hiding their pockets were eager to try their luck. They did not fight with the aristocratic families for the potions because they wanted to save all their money to purchase the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon. They did not care if they needed to go bankrupt, they would even use their connections if need be, all for the sake of the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon.
Everyone in the main hall was bursting with excitement, but other than Yang Xi who paid a little attention to happenings in the main hall, the other beasts were completely uninterested.
The Hundred Year Spirit Weapon was of little value to them, as only Qi Xia and Yan Yu could use it. As a priest, Yan Yu did not have much requirement for his staff as a magus did, so he was just slightly interested in the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon. As for Qi Xia, even though the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon was powerful, as a money-grubber, he would not allow himself to spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions on a single staff.
From that, it could be seen that this scrupulous merchant had some sense of propriety.
The auction for the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon went into full swing. No matter how passionate the experts and the aristocratic families were in the main hall, none of them paid any attention to it.
Shen Yanxiao immediately transferred most of her money into the interspatial ring that she had prepared beforehand. When she saw that the hundred-square-meter interspatial ring was filled with gold coins, she felt happy inside.
Of course most of the money would go to the clients who tasked her auction house to auction their items.
Even then, the total commission they earned from the auction was enough to elevate the city to new heights.
But, Shen Yanxiao wasn’t someone who would be blinded by greed. She had already decided to share the total commission they earned with each of the five beasts. After all, the Phantom Auction House was not just hers, but it was also theirs. She was not that stingy.
The Hundred Year Spirit Weapon was eventually bought by a powerful family from the Seventh Kingdom for 130 million gold coins. It was not a small sum—even after considering what the Phantom Auction House had earned today.
The auction for the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon had now ended, which meant that the auction had come to a close.
Those who managed to bid for the items were satisfied, while those who returned empty-handed had long faces.
In any case, now they all know how mysterious the background of Sun Never Sets was. This was because after the auction ended, Qi Xia deliberately spread the news that the Advanced Herbalist who made the Battle Aura Potion, Magic Potion, and Body Tempering Potion was from Sun Never Sets.
With that giant bomb being dropped on their heads, naturally, those who wished to gain the favor of the Herbalist would try their best to not sever their relationship with Sun Never Sets.
