NOVEL WEB Chapter 164: Interview Opportunity_3
"1100"
"1300"
"1500!"
The first item was a top-grade magical flying sword. Such exquisite artifacts are seldom seen. This immediately stoked the excitement of the room.
Chen Yi and Song Chengcheng remained unmoved. Seeing their indifference, the little maid refrained from further introductions.
Following this, a second-tier foundation establishment pill for breaking through the intermediate phase of the foundation establishment, a rare piece of 'ten thousand-year-old ice' used to forge unique magical instruments, and a golden eagle spirit beast that could fly at a speed comparative to a cultivator in the Pseudo-core phase, one after another, were all brought to the stage.
All of them had a starting price of over 1000 spirit stones. These were all high-class items.
Especially the golden eagle, it surprisingly sold for a hefty price of 5700 spirit stones, which was on par with a foundation establishment pill.
In the interim, a few substandard Foundation Establishment Pills were auctioned.
The Fire Attribute Foundation Establishment Pill that Chen Yi put up for auction, although substandard, was still sold at a good price.
It was bought by an elegantly dressed, older female cultivator in the VIP room for 4200 spirit stones. Sitting beside her was a young boy with Ninth Layer Qi Cultivation.
"Perhaps she bought it for her son. 4200 spirit stones! Wow! That's some serious dough."
Chen Yi mumbled to himself,
Upon seeing this, the maiden serving him explained,
"The lady who bought the pill is the boss of Xu Family Commerce, Xu Menglin. And the young... err... boy, is one of her beloved."
Wait, what? Really? How bold...
Chen Yi was stupefied for a moment. He then gazed at the young lad who had got the foundation establishment pill - the young lad was cutely sticking his incredibly long tongue out, one that could effortlessly reach his nose.
With that, Chen Yi realized, this kid certainly had a unique talent.
Song Chengcheng seemed to grasp the object of Chen Yi's focus. He pinched Chen Yi's thigh with two fingers,
"Humph, the second-tier spirit fire you're waiting for is almost up for auction. Focus."
On the stage, the auctioneer, an old man with silver hair, waved his hand and an illusion of yellow-red fire appeared in the air, so lifelike,
Passing one's divine sense over it, one could perceive its extreme heat.
"This up for auction is the Second-Tier Earth Flame Spiritual Fire. It is one of the Unique Fires of heaven and earth. Its fire has an extremely high temperature and is very stable. It is a rare necessity for alchemists, tool refining masters, and those cultivating fire attribute martial methods.
All interested cultivators shouldn't miss this opportunity.
The starting price for this fire is 1500 spirit stones, and each bid increase must be no less than 100 spirit stones."
"Earth Flame Spiritual Fire!"
Chen Yi probed it with his divine sense and felt its stability and flexibility. This fire was more than ten times stronger than the second-tier Spirit Fire Array he was currently using.
With this fire, Chen Yi wouldn't need Earthfire for refining pills during the Foundation Establishment Period any longer.
"1600 spirit stones!"
"1700 spirit stones!"
"2000 spirit stones!"
....
Bidding voices echoed non-stop. Many bidders were either known or heard of by Chen Yi.
Even Wang Tengfei, a tool refining master, joined in the bidding as he too needed this fire.
In the end, only two bidders remained, one was the alchemist Liu Yonggang and the other was the boss of Xu Family Commerce, Xu Menglin.
She was in the guise of a rich lady and was coddling a young boy next to her.
Well, it was apparent. This boss Xu was bidding on the fire for her beloved boy.
Seeing boss Xu needing this Unique Fire, Liu Yonggang communicated something pleasant to her. Then, he voluntarily gave up.
Xu Menglin was very satisfied with this and nodded her head towards Liu Yonggang.
"2500 spirit stones!"
"2500 spirit stones again, anyone interested in offering a higher price?"
Noticing that everyone's bid had almost peaked, Chen Yi suddenly voiced out,
"2800 spirit stones!"
At that moment, all of Xu Menglin's attention was drawn towards him.
However, what Chen Yi saw in her eyes was not anger as he had anticipated. Instead, her eyes gleamed and turned brighter.
Upon seeing Chen Yi, she gently sent a voice transmission through a spell, clearly revealing two spell runes:
"Hey handsome, what's your name? You raised your bid to catch my attention, didn't you?
How about this, after the auction, you can come over to Xu Family Commerce. I'll give you an interview opportunity.
Remember, don't use any aphrodisiacs, you must count on your real abilities~"
An intense feeling of nausea started to rise from Chen Yi's stomach.
