Chapter 26 - Soul Strengthening Pills (1/2)
”Hello, esteemed guests! Welcome to the Azure Phoenix Auction House! I will be your main host today, Qing Qing!”
A beautiful young lady appeared on the stage with a dazzling smile and a cheerful attitude, brightening the atmosphere despite the dimmed lights.
”Before we begin, allow me to remind you of the rules for this auction house! First of all, once you have made a bid on an item, it will be final and you cannot reclaim the offer! Rule number two, you are not allowed to pressure others with your background! This is an auction house, not the streets! After one warning, we will ask you to leave! And lastly, if you bid on an item and cannot afford it in the end, we will take whatever you have on hand until it's enough to pay the debt! If the debt is not paid, we will hold you until someone pays the debt!”
After announcing the rules, Qing Qing clapped her hands. A moment later, another beautiful lady appeared on the stage while pushing a cart covered by a thick cloth.
”Then without further ado, let me reveal the first item for today's auction — an Earth-grade medium quality chest plate made of silver metal, allowing it to have nearly no weight while retaining high defenses! As long as this is on your body, unless they are at least a Spirit Master, all of their damage will be reduced in half!”
As Qing Qing announced the item, her assistant removed the cover on the cart and revealed the silver armor under it.
”50% damage reduction as long as their Cultivation is below the Spirit Master level? How powerful!” Yuan gazed at the armor with wide eyes. If he had such equipment, it would greatly increase his survivability in this world!
Xiao Hua noticed his desire for the armor in Yuan's eyes and spoke, ”Brother Yuan, although it may sound powerful, it'll only work if your opponent is below the Spirit Master level. With your talent, you'll be fighting Spirit Masters in no time! What's more, with Xiao Hua here, nobody will be able to hurt you, even if they are a Spirit Grandmaster!”
Yuan chuckled at her confident face and nodded.
Meanwhile, the Du Brothers sitting on the other side of his table were glaring at the silver armor with drooling eyes.
”This is a must-have item! As long as we have this, we will be near-invincible within the Inner Court!”
They laughed loudly.
”Relying on treasures too much will affect your Cultivation, Du Bai, Du Hai.” Xuan Wuhan reminded them after seeing their excited expressions.
However, as though they did not hear her, the Du Brothers continued to stare at the armor.
”The starting price for the armor will be 100,000 Gold!” Qing Qing announced.
”100,000 Gold!” Yuan could feel his heart skip a beat after hearing the price, and it was just the starting price. It's no wonder why they refused to accept his Monster Cores that would only sell for a measly 100 Gold.
”110,000 Gold!” The Du Brother immediately bid.
”115,000 Gold!”
”118,000 Gold!”
”120,000 Gold!
”130,000 Gold!”
The price went up by thousands with each call, and within minutes, it raised to 280,000 Gold!
”280,000 Gold… Even if there are players here, I doubt they'll have enough money to buy it…” Yuan thought to himself.
