The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 193 Should I Change the Profession?
“1200 True Crystals!” Lu Sulan made his offer in a calm tone, but inwardly he shouted in excitement.
According to his master, this broken sword was an Origin God Weapon!
He wanted to obtain this sword so that he could change his main weapon. Although his current sword was a Holy Weapon, it no longer held any significant value to him. After all, Jiu Shen continued to broaden his horizons after interacting with him for over a month, and he could feel the humiliation in his eyes every time he saw his Holy Weapon.
“1300 True Crystals!” The people from the Beiming Family made their bid. Unexpectedly, they also seemed to be attracted by this broken sword. However, Lu Sulan remained unfazed by this.
‘My Ice Cloud Sword Sect has a large number of True Crystals accumulated, so it won't be a problem even if the three great noble families offer me for this broken sword. I am only worried about the Alchemy Hall as they are definitely the richest guests at the auction tonight .. I hope they will not join the bidding for this sword ..’ Lu Sulan thought nervously.
“1500 True Crystals!” The Liu family made their offer.
“1550 True Crystals!” The Beiming Family added 50 True Crystals. They were not as rich as other noble families because their strength lay in their respective strengths.
“1700 True Crystals!” Lu Sulan shouted calmly.
“Why are they fighting so fiercely for a broken sword? Are they idiots? This weapon might have the strength of a mid-level Saint Weapon at the moment, but from the looks of it, it seemed like it was about to break apart. They might not even be able to use this on the battlefield, so why waste our True Crystals on this?” Elder Kuan muttered coldly as he looked at the bidding process of the broken sword with disdain. He did not think too much about this sword as it looked like rusty trash.
Elder Kuan glanced at his ten Xue Family disciples and saw that none of them were interested in this sword, so he smiled in satisfaction. ‘These kids are smart. They can be well maintained.’
“1800 True Crystals!”
“1900 True Crystals!”
“1950 True Crystals!”
“…”
“3650 True Crystals!” The elder from the Beiming Family shouted with a fist. The offer had almost reached its bottom line, and from the looks of it, the broken sword was not destined to be possessed by its Beiming Family.
“3800 True Crystals!” The elder from the Liu Family continued to bid.
“4000 True Crystals!” Lu Sulan was not at all intimidated by the price. He was willing to obtain this sword no matter how expensive it was!
“Huh! You two continue. Our Beiming family will not join the offer for this sword again.”
The elder from the Liu Family hesitated, but he still shouted. “4300 True Crystals!” This was the last offer he could give and if Lu Sulan was willing to continue, then he would stop right then and there.
Lu Sulan could feel the doubt of his competitors, so he could not help but smile excitedly. “4400 True Crystals!” He yelled.
Lu Sulan's smile widened and he also heaved a sigh of relief. He then glanced at his master and asked curiously. “Master, is this broken sword really the Weapon of God of Origin?”
Jiu Shen nodded his head calmly and replied nonchalantly. “I am 80% sure that this is the Weapon of the God of Origin, and even if it is not, I have a way to raise it one level higher.”
Lu Sulan's eyes brightened after hearing that.
“There are still two items left for this auction. The next one was a rank 9 cultivation pill called the Expanding Essence Pill. It has the effect of increasing one's cultivation level, but at least one must be at the 7th rank Emperor realm.to consume this pill because the ingredients used in seeping it are extremely powerful. One can explode if one eats it without sufficient strength. The starting price for this pill is 4000 True Crystals and each increment should be at least 100 True Crystals!” Tang Tianyin said as he slowly explained the effects of the Expanding Essence Pill. He was also tempted enough to obtain this pill, but he knew that he had no way to fight for it in front of these tycoons.
The 9th pill is expensive. Not to mention something like the Expanding Essence Pill that could permanently raise one's cultivation level.
“Woah! There is actually a high-level pill being auctioned tonight! In the Profound Dragon Continent, the only known Alchemy Saint was the supreme elder of the Alchemy Hall, Supreme Elder Qi Hongtian. Did he make this pill?”
“Hey brother, don't be stupid! There are several other Alchemy Saints in our Profound Dragon Continent. It was just that they were not as high as Supreme Elder Qi Hongtian. Even so, the possibility that Supreme Elder Qi Hongtian concocted this pill was high.”
Jiu Shen glanced at the 9th rank Extension Pill placed inside the small jade bottle, but his eyes twitched upon seeing it. ‘It was indeed an Expanding Pill Essence, but this was only at the High State, so its efficacy was not that strong. At most it could increase the strength of a 7th rank Emperor by two small realms. As for the others, they could only increase their cultivation by one small realm after consuming it. What a waste of materials!’ He murmured in his heart.
There are six levels of pills according to their efficacy: Low State, Medium State, High State, Peak State, Perfect State, and Profound State.
The Expanding Essence Pill was on display only at the High State, so Jiu Shen's humiliation was understandable, but in the eyes of others, a pill of this level was already precious.
Lu Sulan was also not interested in this cultivation pill. His master gave them high-tier pills from time to time, so he wasn't even tempted to bid on these pills.
Other than Jiu Shen's group, everyone discussed excitedly when the Expanding Essence Pill was issued. Even the emperor seemed tempted to bid on it. In fact, he knew that this was made by Supreme Elder Qi Hongtian, and he even tried to buy it directly from him. However, Supreme Elder Qi Hongtian rejected his offer because he wanted to auction it off in order to gain more profits.
“4500 True Crystals!”
“4800 True Crystals!”
“5000 True Crystals!”
The bidding for the Expanding Essence Pill went awry. Everyone was eager to obtain this pill as it could permanently increase their strength. Who wouldn't want such a treasure?
Jiu Shen was not surprised by this sudden surge in price, but he still felt somewhat shocked by the audience's enthusiasm towards such a low-tier pill.
‘Should I change profession? Maybe I can earn more as an alchemist.’.
Of course, this was just a passing thought for Jiu Shen …
