No one had ever imagined a single Lotus Seed could have such an astonishing effect. The possibility of a Four Veins Martial Artist breaking through to the Five Veins Power Realm after absorbing it was simply unheard of. For a mont, the entire auction hall fell into a brief silence.
A few breaths later, a clamor of discussion erupted. Everyone stared with expressions of disbelief at the unremarkable Lotus Seed in the middle-aged man's hand, all of them wondering what kind of Lotus Seed it could be to possess such terrifying Energy.
The desire for power is sothing every Martial Artist possesses, and this Lotus Seed could actually help soone at the Four Veins Power Realm reach the Five Veins Power Realm. This was far more effective than any Miracle Elixir.
Everyone knew there was a huge difference between Four Veins and Five Veins. A Five Veins Martial Artist could borrow the Power of Heaven and Earth. There was a vast gulf between the two Realms that needed to be crossed. If one failed to cross it, their Power Realm might be stuck at Four Veins forever.
Otherwise, Linyuan Academy wouldn't have so many instructors at the Four Veins Power Realm. It sounded simple, but breaking through by absorbing the Energy from Spirit Stones was incredibly difficult. But this Lotus Seed could allow for a breakthrough in a short period of ti, saving countless hours of effort.
At this mont, everyone desperately wanted this Lotus Seed, even those who had yet to reach the Four Veins Realm. They could find a way to reach Four Veins first, and then use the Lotus Seed to break through to Five Veins.
Five Veins was the domain of the strong. At that level, you would be respected wherever you went, and your status would naturally rise. If a family had several mbers at the Five Veins Power Realm, that family would also grow increasingly powerful.
However, the fact that soone would put such an incredible item up for auction—and it wasn't even the final showpiece—made everyone a little suspicious. They wondered if the auctioneer was exaggerating its effects. They would only be able to rest easy if soone could verify the Lotus Seed's authenticity.
Soone spoke up at that mont. "You claim this Lotus Seed is so miraculous, so what kind is it? We're a bit skeptical about the Energy it contains! After all, Lotus Seeds are common. No one would believe that such an ordinary thing could suddenly be so powerful."
"I saw this Lotus Seed. A young man brought it in. At first, the appraiser thought the young man was just causing trouble, but after taking a closer look, his expression changed dramatically, and his attitude beca very respectful."
"It seems he took the young man to see the Association Leader. The young man also said he wanted a VIP room. Looks like the Association Leader agreed to his request, since this Lotus Seed ended up as one of the finale items," another person in the main hall added.
With that said, many more people were convinced. Even those who still had doubts didn't dwell on them. Everyone knew the two old appraisers were at the Five Veins Realm. The fact that one of them personally took the young man to see the Association Leader proved the item was extraordinary. Now that it was a finale item, it was further confirmation that it was sothing truly special.
"Please, do not doubt my words. Everyone knows the reputation of Linxiao Auction House. All our items are absolutely genuine. We would certainly not tarnish our own na over a single Lotus Seed. This Lotus Seed truly possesses such terrifying Energy."
"Our auction house has nad this Lotus Seed the Divine Lotus. The auction begins now! For our friends who wish to quickly raise their Power Realm to Five Veins, this is a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity. There is only one of these Lotus Seeds, so the competition will surely be fierce. Take out your Spirit Stones and bid like crazy!
"The starting price for the Divine Lotus is five million Spirit Stones, and each bid must be an incrent of no less than one million Spirit Stones! The auction starts now!" the middle-aged man announced.
This was the first ti the occupants of the various VIP rooms had ever encountered such an item. Even the Association Leader himself couldn't resist asking Ye Tian for one, which spoke volus about the Lotus Seed's value. Had Ye Tian taken out a Seven-Colored Lotus Seed, the Association Leader would probably have looked at him as if he were a monster.
The bidding for the Lotus Seed was even more intense than it had been for the Soul dicine. In just a few breaths, the price shot up to twenty million, and it was still climbing. With over twenty people still competing, it was the most contested item yet. Of the nine VIP rooms, only Ye Tian's Room Three had not participated in the bidding.
Everyone was now a little worried that Room Three would suddenly jump in and raise the price to an unreachable figure. So, everyone increased their bids by only one million at a ti. Even after the price reached fifty million, Room Three still hadn't made a move.
At that mont, Zhang Xinlan stopped her Cultivation. She saw that they were auctioning Ye Tian's Lotus Seed and said with a smile, "Ye Tian, should we join in and drive the price even higher?"
"That's not a bad idea, but I don't think it's necessary. Let's give them a chance this ti. What we're really after is the Elental Pearl. Getting this price for the Lotus Seed is already pretty good. I will bid on your Exquisite Short Sword, though."
"Even if no one else bids against us and we end up winning it ourselves, it doesn't matter. I really don't want soone else to get their hands on a treasure like that so easily," Ye Tian said.
Everyone was surprised that Room Three never placed a bid. In the end, the Lotus Seed was sold to the occupants of Room Five for a price of sixty-one million Spirit Stones.
After the auction house's ten percent commission, Ye Tian would still receive over fifty million Spirit Stones, which was quite good. Of course, this amount of Spirit Stones was nothing to him.
"The Lotus Seed has now been successfully auctioned! Next, we will be auctioning an item that many of our friends have been waiting for—an Elental Pearl! The one I hold in my hand is a Water Elental Pearl. All of you should be familiar with Elental Pearls, so I won't waste any more words."
"You all know the value of an Elental Pearl. Now for the starting price. The bidding for this Elental Pearl will also start at five million Spirit Stones, with a minimum incrent of one million. Let the auction begin!" the middle-aged man announced.
"Your Highness, the Water Elental Pearl is up. Do you plan to acquire it?" Xu Chun couldn't help but ask.
"I don't need a Water Elental Pearl right now," Ye Tian said, turning to Zhang Xinlan. "Xinlan, do you need it? If you do, we can bid on it."
"My mastery of the Water Elent isn't much worse than yours. Do you really think I need it?" Zhang Xinlan replied with a smile. "Let's just watch and see. We can see what price this Elental Pearl fetches, which will help us when we bid on the other ones!"
The competition for the Water Elental Pearl wasn't as fierce as it was for the Lotus Seed. Only a little over ten people participated, and three of the VIP rooms didn't join in, which was sowhat disappointing. In the end, the Water Elental Pearl was won by the Eldest Prince in Room One for twenty-seven million Spirit Stones.
"So Elental Pearls aren't that expensive after all. Not even thirty million Spirit Stones!" Ye Tian comnted.
"Well, you have to consider which Elental Pearl it is. If it were a Fire Elental Pearl, the price definitely wouldn't be less than fifty million. Don't believe ? Want to make a bet?" Zhang Xinlan said, looking at Ye Tian with a slight smile.
