None of the important figures present could deny this. Soon, a scantily clad and strikingly beautiful woman walked onto the stage. "Hello everyone! I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Our auction is about to begin. Please be patient, the items at today's auction will definitely be a sight to behold!"
"Miss Yan Yan! Look at me! When will you become an auction item? I'll definitely buy you for a high price!"
"Miss Yan Yan, you're even more seductive today!"
...
There were quite a few people saying these vulgar things, and most of the voices were shouting like this. Even the people in the private room were shocked by the commotion.
Fu Ziyi pressed the bell beside her, and Xiao Zhi, who was standing outside the door, pushed the door open and entered. She stood there, not daring to look around. "Come here."
After hearing this, Xiaozhi closed the door and walked to Fu Ziyi's side. "What are your orders, esteemed guest?"
"Why is the person below so agitated?" Fu Ziyi asked.
Xiaozhi glanced at the situation on the stage and said with a smile, "That's Ms. Yan Yan, the most popular host in our auction house. Many people like her, so the scene is naturally a bit lively."
Xu Yuehuai remained expressionless throughout. Xiaozhi wanted to leave but was kept in the room. She would appear to help when needed, but otherwise she would stand in the corner like a ghost.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the first item for auction is about to be presented. Are you all excited?" Miss Yan Yan said this to the people sitting in the hall. From the moment Xu Yuehuai entered the private room, she noticed a booklet on the table next to her. The booklet contained the item to be auctioned today.
It contains elixirs, talismans, magical artifacts, and even... divine beasts, etc.
Xu Yuehua was somewhat interested in a few of them. The first item was a pill, which Xu Yuehua didn't really want. She was an alchemist herself, and it was only a matter of time before she improved her alchemy skills after coming here. There was no need to waste time buying it.
The items in their auction house were all high-quality. Xiaozhi observed the five guests in the room from the corner. Their faces were surprisingly calm, and they didn't even seem to want to bid. Xiaozhi couldn't help but be amazed.
Alchemists are a rare profession on the second floor; most people obtain pills by buying them.
She was only shocked for a moment, and quickly recovered.
"Our first item will start at 100 mid-grade spirit stones! Each bid must be at least 10 mid-grade spirit stones higher."
Xu Yuehuai was surprised when she heard the price; she hadn't expected it to be so expensive.
If anyone else heard her say that, they would probably be furious. One hundred mid-grade spirit stones is already considered a high price, and there are very few people like Fu Ziyi who would spend one hundred high-grade spirit stones to buy a private room seat.
"two hundred!"
I'll pay three hundred yuan!
"I'll offer a thousand yuan..."
The shouts continued, and in just a few rounds, the price had already risen to a thousand mid-grade spirit stones, while the people in the private rooms hadn't even started bidding yet.
When there weren't many people bidding in the main hall, some people in private rooms started to make their moves, directly buying the box of pills for five thousand mid-grade spirit stones. Ji Yuanchi exclaimed, "Are alchemists making money like this? Just one box of pills can cost fifty high-grade spirit stones."
Xu Yuehuai had no idea about this; she still had some low-grade spirit stones in her pocket, most of which had been consumed by the Yuan Shui.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuehua felt depressed. She wondered what Yuan Shui had been doing lately. Ever since she hadn't called him when she was on the verge of death, he had been sulking and hadn't come out to talk to her at all.
Xu Yuehuai stared at the spiritual herbs and some...good stuff in the booklet, intending to take pictures to compensate for the Yuan Shui.
Ji Yuanchi leaned close to Xu Yuehuai, her face beaming with joy. "Yueyue, why don't we go sell these pills? They're worth so much! And that box of pills is made from the most common ingredients, the raw materials don't even cost a hundred mid-grade spirit stones."
“You usually take a handful of these pills at a time!” Ji Yuanchi’s words were true, and she had no way to refute them.
"Let's talk about this after we return to the sect and study for a few days." Xu Yuehuai felt that she had spent a considerable amount of spirit stones today, so she did not refuse.
None of the subsequent items interested her, but Fu Ziyi bid on quite a few. Ji Yuanchi looked in Fu Ziyi's direction and found it strange, "Why are you bidding on so many things? Do you even need any of these things?"
It's no wonder Ji Yuanchi said this; even Xu Yuehuai was puzzled. Fu Ziyi was a ghost cultivator, yet he slapped down a sword, even though he wasn't a sword cultivator.
Fu Ziyi snorted and ignored her, continuing to watch the auction below.
Seeing this, Ji Yuanchi also started to throw a tantrum and ignore this bastard!
When the first spiritual herb was presented, Xu Yuehuai sat up straight, and Miss Yan Yan below began to introduce the item, "This is a rare red lotus that grows on cliffs."
"None of you have ever seen a lotus growing on a cliff, have you? Especially a red lotus," Miss Yan Yan said as she introduced the lotus's medicinal properties on stage.
Xu Yuehuai has a lot of spiritual herbs, which she hasn't used up yet, but those are not very useful to Yuan Shui. The useful ones have already been secretly eaten by Yuan Shui.
Yuan Shui was inside a tower in the space. It was a tower itself. After deciding not to pay attention to Xu Yuehuai, it hid itself inside, remaining silent. However, it still cared about Xu Yuehuai and would occasionally observe the situation outside.
"This lotus flower has tremendous effects even without being refined into a pill. It can increase cultivation, heal injuries, and so on. Moreover, it is a great tonic for artifact spirits and spirit beasts. And the starting bid is only five hundred mid-grade spirit stones." After Miss Yan Yan on the stage finished speaking, there weren't many people bidding below.
Most people who possess spirit beasts are beast tamers, and beast tamers are even rarer than alchemists. Artifact spirits are even more precious, and very few people possess them.
Therefore, compared to other options, buying a medicinal herb at such a high price is not a very worthwhile thing.
Seeing that the situation was about right, Xu Yuehuai started to raise the price, directly increasing it from 500 mid-grade spirit stones to 800 mid-grade spirit stones in one go. This price exceeded the expectations of many people, and they all gave up competing for it. Xu Yuehuai and his group were in the number ten private room.
Everyone has heard of this VIP room number ten. In the auction just now, every item that was bid on by VIP room number ten was sold.
In this way, everyone lost the will to compete. Although they were still dissatisfied, they knew that if they continued to compete, the other party might not want them anymore, which would be digging a big hole for themselves.
Xu Yuehuai successfully photographed this red lotus.
"Why are you taking pictures of this?" Fu Ziyi asked upon seeing this.
The red lotus had already been delivered. As Xu Yuehuai paid, she replied, "It will naturally be of great use."
