Chapter 146: Life Saving Pad
“Truly a pity.” The Wealth priest sighed, then consoled, “However we aren’t without our gains, us raising the price to this degree must have greatly depleted room 21’s finances. The entire auction hall should thank us for this!”
The Fertile Land bitterly smiled and nodded silently.
He had come to this auction to buy the Mircale Flower Pot, but he ended up suffering a crushing defeat and returning with nothing.
He was uninterested in the upcoming auctions, and if it wasn’t for how damaging it would be for the Wealth priest’s face, he would have left the venue already.
“Let’s congratulate room 21.”
“This was indeed a peerlessly marvelous bidding war.”
“Congratulations to our honored winner of the Mircale Flower Pot.”
“This antique is truly worth collecting!”
The auction master was very red with excitement.
This flower pot’s estimated auction price was 320 gold, but it ultimately reached a sales price of 1,720 gold, a full 1,400 gold above that.
This was a rare sight indeed!
That auction might be a new record. It will surely be an experience the auction master could brag about for a good while.
In room 1, Hun Tong was smiling too.
The sales price was beyond his expectations too.
He thought about it, then called a subordinate over to instruct them to send room 21 some iron level Fragrant Gill Tea and to tactfully put forth a small request.
During the transaction, as the subordinate checked Cang Xu’s gold coins and handed over the Miracle Flower Pot, he said, “Two Lords, the Feudal Lord is very curious about this treasure. If you two Lords don’t mind, the Feudal Lord is willing to pay for this treasure’s secret.”
“What secrets could it have?” Zi Di raised her eyebrows, “I want to know too. Wouldn’t be better if we cooperate and have the Feudal Lord step forth to ask the Fertile Land priest together? Don’t worry, I know information is valuable and am willing to assume the cost of it.”
The subordinate was gob smacked, and he returned to Hun Tong to report the truth.
Hun Tong laughed.
If Zi Di rebuffed them, he might have guessed the other party was intentionally hiding something. But since the other party suggested this kind of demand, Hun Tong felt that they might not know anything about it.
“Then do that, go ask the Fertile Land priest about it.” Hun Tong was willing to cooperate.
“What, they actually don’t know the flower pot’s secret?” When the Fertile Land priest heard the subordinate’s question, he nearly coughed blood.
If they didn’t know, then why did they compete with me for so long?
They really are so rich and imposing!
They simply were intolerable bullies!!
“I won’t say, let them guess themselves.” The Fertile Land priest darkly spat out his refusal.
Naturally, the subordinate didn’t dare to offend a silver level cultivator, especially a member of the clergy.
“What a pity, if they agreed perhaps I could get in contact with room 21. Perhaps it would be possible to retrieve the flower pot from them.” The Wealth priest disapproved of the Fertile Land priest’s decision, but he didn’t say anything.
Right now, the Fertile Land priest was in a terrible mood, and the Wealth priest was unlikely to say anything that brought misfortune on his head.
The Miracle Flower Pot’s unexpected bidding surge and out of place sales price had left a deep impression on all of the spectators.
This also caused the following items to be unable to arouse any interest, they only felt a spell of boredom.
On the whole, antique items essentially had a higher collection value than practical value.
These things appealed to collectors and old school nobles, however, those attending this auction were looking for more useful things.
It wasn’t worth buying some antique pieces, even if they were extraordinary, they weren’t worth it.
Wouldn’t it be more appealing to buy some real equipment, medicine, and scrolls?
Thus, few people participated in these auctions compared to the previous parts.
The auction mood began to gradually grow muffled.
At this time, the auction master took out a long case and took out a fishing rod.
The fishing rod was blue, seemed to be made from bamboo, and was seeped in a gentle jade-like luster.
The fishing rod made many eyes shine.
The fishing rod could at least be used on the seas, unlike the calligraphy, paintings, and other antiques previously.
But the fishing rod was an antique too.
“Respected guests, this is the Ocean King’s Fishing Rod.”
The auction master presented, “Its owner was a prestigious legend level magic chef – Lan Bao Yi!”
“This auxiliary fishing rod was made by his close friend as a birthday gift.”
“Lan Bao Yi used this auxiliary fishing rod to personally hook many valuable fish for ingredients.”
“That’s right, the Ocean King Fishing Rod’s main purpose is to increase the chance of catching rare fish. It not only an alchemy creation, but it has also been blessed by the gods.”
“There is clear evidence that indicates its prior owner used it to catch a Time Fish!”
“Of course, using it also has its risks.”
“The previous owner used it to catch a Savage Shark, and the hunter instead became the prey.”
Time Fish were a rare and highly difficult magic fish to catch.
It is said that they not only taste delicious, but that they also immensely benefited one’s cultivation.
As for the Savage Shark, that was a type of ferocious predator.
Every Savage Shark was at least a saint level.
It wasn’t a normal shark, instead through constant slaughter and possible bloodline change, a shark could become one.
Hun Tong was quite particular and didn’t deliberately hide its side effects.
After hearing that the fishing result could not be controlled, the dragonman youngster’s interest waned.
He was someone who acted in an orderly manner.
Although sea angling felt fascinating, if one drew in a Savage Shark, it would bring disaster not only to him, but also the other survivors too, something he didn’t wish to see.
As for Zong Ge, he was utterly disinterested in this leisure type item.
Finally, the Ocean God Fishing Rod was accepted by the Iron Club Mercenary Corps.
Their commander paid a considerable price for it.
The auction master introduced the next item.
This is the famous Flesh Changing Clothes.”
The auction master raised a flesh colored bra.
“The romantic tale between the female Marquis Rou Mei and the poor youngster Gang Bian is widely known.”
“When they first met each other, the Marquis Rou Mei had been observing how people lived, and went incognito, and to conceal her city devastating beauty, she wore this alchemy undergarment.”
“After wearing it, the Marquis transformed from a graceful and refined lady into a fat woman. With additional disguises on top of it, she turned into a mediocre female cook.”
“The unaware Gang Bian never judged by appearances, and through a string of encounters where he repeatedly helped Rou Mei, he displayed his manly stature and kindheartedness, gradually gaining the Marquis’ affection.”
“This is the Marquis’ very Flesh Changing Clothes she wore in those days.”
“A silver level alchemy treasure.”
“When a hand touches it, it feels as warm as a beautiful woman. Smell it carefully, it seems to have some fragrance on it.”
The auction master looked infatuated, then declared the starting price and the beginning of the auction.
The Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps was even less interested in this item.
The next item appeared.
It was a completely rectangular white cloth; it looked like cotton. Cloth protruded from each side and looked like wings spreading out.
The white cloth emitted a silver level aura.
“Look carefully, everyone.” The auction master raised the white cloth and poured battle qi into it.
Concurrent with energy imbuing into it, the white cloth emitted a pure light that flowed in an exquisite pattern.
This item wasn’t on the list, and many people were looking at it inquisitively.
“The Life Saving Pad?” Someone in the audience identified it.
“That’s right, it’s the Life Saving Pad.” The auction master excitedly stated, “It is not a human thing, it comes from the elves.”
“In elven history, there was a demigoddess called Guang Hua Lan.”
“The Elven Kingdom was in a crisis, so Guang Hua Lan enlisted to spare her father. She always triumphed and victory was her constant companion.”
“When she had an audience with the king, she revealed herself willingly and made known she was a woman.”
“Early on in her enlistment, the Life Saving Pad helped her greatly.”
“It helped her disguise her gender and in crucial moments, helped staunch her bleeding.”
“When we imbue it with battle qi or magic power, the alchemy treasure’s main function will activate, which is healing.”
“The more of the user’s blood it absorbs, the stronger the healing effect.”
“The Life Saving Pad is worth of the name!”
“It can staunch many injuries in a convenient fashion!”
“Let the next auction begin.”
The Life Saving Pad’s auction was far livelier than the last two.
Because it could heal, its functionality increased several fold.
A few pirate groups were among the fiercest fighters.
Pirates didn’t have a clergyman. They had a serious lack of instantaneous healing methods.
In the vanguard, whether there was a clergyman or priest that could heal in a timely fashion made a difference.
On when the Pirate Throne had a new master were pirates able to have their own clergy.
The Life Saving Pad’s healing was instantaneous. Although it only affected one person, who would dislike having more things that preserved one’s life?
Although Zi Di was a ghost girl, she absolutely did not disparage it.
“I can’t use it, but I can give it to the commander.” With this notion in mind, Zi Di once again displayed her terrifying financial resources, and with a bullish attitude, intimidated the bidders into withdrawing and claimed the antique.
The Life Saving Pad’s auction was the climax of the antiques auction.
The auction order had been intentionally arranged by Hun Tong.
He had predicted that the Life Saving Pad would be welcomed.
However, the Life Saving Pad’s final sales price was still far lower than the Miracle Flower Pot’s.
After the Life Saving Pad was some extraordinary antiques.
This is the classical oil painting “The Dazzling Star Studded Heavens”. This the famous statue “Sufferer”. And this is a cookbook.
This cookbook aroused the interest of the dragonman youngster, Zi Di, and Cang Xu.
Because this cookbook’s author was a vampire duke. He was a historically renowned gourmet, warrior, and arsonist. He liked culinary delicacies and in his later years, he compiled this cookbook to be given to future generations.
