Chapter 50

Huamei’er was a bit dazed to find there was one more bid but she quickly composed herself and put down the hammer.

“A black crystal from VIP Room 7.”

Hearing her mention VIP Room 7, Feng Xifan took a tumble.

She was a refining pharmacist and a girl. It was understandable that she was interested in the prescription of Beauty Locking Pill.

Chu Lian’er was a bit excited to hear that someone placed a higher bid than Hua Xian’er.

She thought that since she was out, the prescription of Beauty Locking Pill must be bought by Hua Xian’er. However, someone outbid Hua Xian’er unexpectedly.

“Brother, who is sitting in VIP Room 7?”

Chu Xiaoran shook his head.

He also wanted to find out the girl who dared to compete for the item against the young master of the Hua Family in Zhongzhou City.

Hua Xian’er in VIP Room 3 had a gloomy look on her pretty face.

Who on earth was the girl in VIP Room 7? How dared the girl compete against her?

“A black crystal going once.”

“A black crystal going twice.”

“A black crystal and 50 purple crystals.”

Hua Xian’er’s voice was not as coquettish as before but a bit gloomy.

“Two black crystals.”

The cold female voice came without hesitation.

Hua Xian’er clenched her fists and her pretty face grimaced with anger, “Two black crystals and 50 purple crystals.”

“Three black crystals.” Her voice was still not hesitant.

Who on earth was so rich?

This girl could offer three black crystals for the seemingly useless prescription of Beauty Locking Pill. The rarest crystals on the Hantian Continent were black crystals and white crystals. Even the Hua Family had only more than 100 black crystals and tens of white crystals.

“Three…”

“Xian’er, don’t forget why we are here.”

Hua Xian’er wanted to bid more but a beautiful middle-aged woman stopped her.

The beautiful middle-aged woman was Hua Mei, the current master of the Hua Family.

Although she also wanted the prescription of Beauty Locking Pill, she didn’t forget why they were here today.

“Mother…”

Thinking of the goal of coming here, Hua Xian’er could only return to the table with indignation.

They were here for the last auction item. Hence, they really shouldn’t waste too many crystals on such a valueless thing. Yet, she felt so grieved.

Who on earth was the girl in VIP Room 7?

“Three black crystals going once.”

“Three black crystals going twice.”

“Three black crystals, sold.”

Huamei’er struck the hammer on the long table and cast an enchanting smile at VIP Room 7.

“Congratulations on the customer in VIP Room 7. Now, the prescription of Beauty Locking Pill is yours.”

The girl in VIP Room 7 couldn’t be ordinary.

Duanmu Xi sitting in VIP Room 7 gave a faint smile.

The prescription of Beauty Locking Pill was of little value for others but quite useful for her.

Phoenix Five standing next to Duanmu Xi was fascinated by Duanmu Xi’s faint smile again.

Her Highness was already so gorgeous when she didn’t smile. Now that she was smiling faintly, she looked even more fascinating.

The auction downstairs was still on but the treasures were not what Duanmu Xi needed. The people in the VIP rooms on the third floor didn’t bid either.

“Your Highness, here are the elixirs refined by you that are being auctioned now.”

Phoenix Five was a bit excited to see that Huamei’er was holding the several jade bottles given by Duanmu Xi for auction.

Duanmu Xi nodded lightly, her face still expressionless.

Huamei’er was holding one of the jade bottles downstairs.

“Ladies and gentlemen, look. Inside the jade bottle is Styptic Powder, the yellow-grade one-level elixir. Although it is only a one-level elixir, it is still of top level. Don’t look down upon the Styptic Powder. Maybe it can save your life at the crucial moment. The starting price is 30 blue crystals. Now start bidding.”

“It’s the elixir. It’s the elixir. 50 blue crystals. I’ll take it.”

“You want to buy the top-level elixir with 50 blue crystals? Are you insanely poor? 80 blue crystals from me.”

“A purple crystal.”

…

The first bottle of Styptic Powder was bought at the price of 30 purple crystals by a booth on the second floor.

Duanmu Xi raised her eyebrows. She was a bit surprised that a bottle of yellow-grade one-level elixir should be sold for so many crystals.

“Those who failed to buy the Styptic Powder don’t have to feel disappointed. Here are two more bottles of Styptic Powder, which are both of top level. The starting price is 60 blue crystals. Please start bidding.”

Those who couldn’t buy the Styptic Powder all started bidding for the two bottles of Styptic Powder, itchy to bid for the life-saving elixir.

“10 purple crystals.”

Given the previous auction price of Styptic Powder, the bidding price of the two bottles of Styptic Powder was made based on the purple crystal.

“30 purple crystals.”

“50 purple crystals.”

“70 purple crystals.”

In the end, the two bottles of Styptic Powder were bid at the price of 100 purple crystals by the client in VIP Room 2 on the third floor.

“The next auction item is still the top-level elixir but it is the yellow-grade two-level elixir, Heart Recovering Powder. As to its function, needless to say, it can recover the spiritual power of spiritual masters. So, the spiritual masters here, attention, please. Three bottles of Heart Recovering Powder, the starting price is three purple crystals. Start bidding now.”

Huamei’er took out three identical jade bottles and showed them to the audience.

“10 purple crystals.”

“30 purple crystals.”

“60 purple crystals.”

…

There were not many spiritual masters on the Hantian Continent. Yet, Chu Lian’er and Hua Xian’er, these two sworn foes were both spiritual masters. Chu Lian’er was a thunder spiritual master while Hua Xian’er was a wood spiritual master.

“A black crystal.”

Hua Xian’er bid first.

Once Hua Xian’er made her bid, those on the first floor and the second floor who wanted to bid all chose to give up now.

“A black crystal and 30 purple crystals.”

Chu Lian’er curled her lips, her eyes simmering with smiles.

She didn’t get the prescription of Beauty Locking Pill but neither did Hua Xian’er, which made her feel so good.

“Two black crystals.”

Hua Xian’er’s voice was no longer coquettish but a bit gloomy.

Did they really think she was a push-over?

“Two black crystal and 30 purple crystals.”

Chu Lian’er also made her bid unhurriedly. When Hua Xian’er was unhappy, she would feel happy.

“Three black crystals.”

Hua Xian’er uttered every word through gritted teeth.

Seeing Hua Xian’er’s angry face, Hua Mei opened her mouth and yet still said nothing.

Chu Lian’er stretched her smile further. Three black crystals for three bottles of Heart Recovering Powder. Hua Xian’er was so generous.

“Three black crystals going once.”

“Three black crystals going twice.”

“Three black crystals, sold.”

Huamei’er struck the hammer on the long table.

“Congratulations to the client in VIP Room 3. Now, the three bottles of Heart Recovering Powder belong to you.”

Duanmu Xi was slightly surprised. She didn’t expect that the three bottles of two-level elixirs should be sold at such a high price of three black crystals. No wonder refining pharmacists were the most exalted on the Hantian Continent.

The economic base determined the superstructure. The refining pharmacist was really the most profitable career on the Hantian Continent.

Then, it was the three-level elixir, Strength Restoring Pill refined by Duanmu Xi to be auctioned. The three bottles of Strength Restoring Pills were sold at the price of four black crystals and 50 purple crystals to the client in VIP Room 5.

After several more items were auctioned, Huamei’er held a big egg.

“This big egg was gained by a mysterious master in the forest of spiritual beasts. It is said that inside the egg is the cub of some mythical creature. The egg of a mythical creature, the starting price is five black crystals. Start bidding now.”

“Ten black crystals.”

“15 black crystals.”

“18 black crystals.”

…

No sooner had Huamei’er finished chanting than the audience went crazy.

Mythical creature! That was what all the spiritual masters on the Hantian Continent dreamed of.

If inside the egg was really the cub of some mythical creature, they would bid for it regardless of the cost.

“Mistress, bid for the egg. The little guy in there has quite good natural endowments,” Lanze said to Duanmu Xi in the mental space.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi narrowed her purple eyes and took a serious look at the white egg on the desk. She couldn’t find anything special about the egg but she knew that Lanze must be right.

The bidding price of the big egg was 30 black crystals now. The bidders were all those on the first floor and second floor. None of the clients in the VIP rooms on the third floor made a bid.

Although they liked the cub of a mythical creature, who knew whether it was really the cub of a mythical creature in the egg? They didn’t want to spend so many crystals on an ordinary egg of a spiritual beast.

“30 black crystals going once.”

“30 black crystals going twice.”

“30…”

“50 black crystals.”

The cold female voice sounded in all the people’s ears again.

Huamei’er put down the hammer and looked at the VIP rooms on the third floor. VIP Room 7 again.

“50 black crystals from VIP Room 7. Any more bids?”

The girl in VIP Room 7 made a bid so the big egg was likely to be the egg of a mythical creature. The people in the VIP rooms on the third floor were all thrilled.

“51 black crystals.”

“51 black crystals from VIP Room 2.”

“55 black crystals.”

“55 black crystals from VIP Room 3.”

“58 black crystals.”

“58 black crystals from VIP Room 4.”

“60 black crystals.”

“60 black crystals from VIP Room 5.”

“A white crystal.”

The cold female voice came again. The auction hall was quiet instantly.

The other bidders all increased bidding by a few crystals but she…

The other VIPs on the third floor all gave up. Only Hua Xian’er in VIP Room 3 was still obsessive about the insult just now.

“Two white crystals.”

“Ten white crystals.”

The cold voice astonished all again.

The crystal, as the currency on the Hantian Continent, had nine colors–red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black and white. 100 red crystals were equal to one orange crystal, and 100 orange crystals were equal to one yellow crystal…

Everyone knew the scarcity of the white crystal. One white crystal was equal to 100 black crystals. She increased her bid to ten white crystals, which meant that she increased by 1,000 black crystals. It was a sum of fortune too considerable for ordinary people to get for their whole lives.

Hua Xian’er was also stunned.

The whole Hua Family only had tens of white crystals in total. This girl dared to spend so many white crystals on the unknown egg.

She must be a psychopath.

The man in red in VIP Room 6 grinned.

The woman next door had a good eye. Yet, where on earth had he heard her voice before?
