Chapter 69 – Sky High Price
“People from the three Major families and the six Noble families are here. There’s even a representative of the Alchemist Association, and ten merchant guild representatives. We’ll definitely not have chance to get that item.”
“Even if we don’t get a chance to get it, seeing such a big event isn’t that bad.”
Everyone within the Auction Hall was busy with their discussions.
“Please be quiet for a moment,” The auctioneer lady lightly smiled and said, “We will soon present that unrivalled treasure for everyone!”
At this moment, the auction hall went silent immediately.
Two beautiful ladies were carrying a tray as they walked up to the stage. Something was on the tray. Whatever it was, was covered by a piece of purple cloth. Only the rough outline of the item could be seen.
“What exactly is that thing?”
“Cliffhanger!”
At this moment, the auctioneer had a charming smile on her face. Her right hand lightly pulled, removing the purple cloth. In that moment, a gem light had spread out in all directions. A black jade pot made from unknown material appeared in front of everyone’s eyes. The pot was sparkling and translucent, with gem-like shine on it.
A rich soul aura was spreading around.
Looking at this black jade pot, Nie Li could not contain his excitement. He never thought that such a thing would actually appear here. This item is indeed an unrivalled treasure. It’s usage cannot be measured by money!
“How did this item come along and what are its uses? Our Patriarch is not sure. However, there is one thing that can be confirmed. This pot emits an aura that strengthens demon spirits. That alone, proves that this item is not ordinary. Down below, on the base, the words, “Nightmare” is carved. It probably has something to do with the nightmare demon spirits.”
The auctioneer lady continued, “Furthermore, according to our Patriarch. If one trains a demon spirit around it, it can greatly strengthen the aura of the demon spirit. Therefore, it can be confirmed that this is an absolutely unrivalled treasure. Our Patriarch hopes that there will be someone who is able to unleash its usage!”
“The starting price for this item is eight million demon spirit coins!”
The Hong Yue Family’s Patriarch doesn’t know of it’s usage, therefore, the starting bid began at such low price. If he knew about this black jade pot’s uses, he probably wouldn’t want to sell it. Just it’s effect of strengthening a demon spirit’s aura by training around it would be worth quite a bit, not to mention that there is still some unknown uses to it.
After the respective representatives from the respective families felt the rich soul force aura, they couldn’t help being moved by it, having great interest for it.
“What exactly is this black jade pot?”
“Don’t know, but you can be sure that this is absolutely not that simple!”
“How rare, I really want to study it. Who knows? It might have some special uses!”
Looking at the black jade pot, Nie Li fell deep within his thoughts. This black jade pot should be the legendary treasure, Nightmare Demon Pot. The heritage of this pot goes back to the Snow Wind Empire Era. It’s said that it was found in an ancient tribe.
Even Nie Li only knows one of it’s uses. One of the uses for the Nightmare Demon Pot is to refine demon spirits!
The rough idea of the process is, one puts in ten different kinds of demon spirits into the Nightmare Demon Pot. After a while, there would be a chance of a more power demon spirit being refined with its confines. If one’s lucky, there’s a possibility for a rare demon spirit. If one’s unlucky, all the demon spirits will be destroyed.
The possibility of failure is rather small and the possibility of refining rare demon spirits out is also very small. Most of the time, the Nightmare Demon Pot could refine out a more powerful demon spirit. Just this usage alone, is more than enough to make countless people crazy over it. After all, the majority of Demon Spiritualists can only integrate with one demon spirit, therefore, they’ll definitely wish for the demon spirit to be as strong as possible.
Using weaker demon spirits to merge into a stronger demon spirit, that’s the usage of the Nightmare Demon Pot.
There probably isn’t anyone here that knows of the usage of the Nightmare Demon Pot.
Thinking about how powerful the Nightmare Demon Pot is, Nie Li immediately decided that he has to buy this, no matter how much he has to spend!
Very soon, a few families began bidding.
“Ten million demon spirit coins!”
“Twelve million demon spirit coins!”
“Fifteen million demon spirit coins!”
……
Very soon, the price was raised to twenty million demon spirit coins. This price was enough to cause everyone in the auction hall to be shocked.
“Thirty million demon spirit coins!” The Sacred Family suddenly started bidding.
“Thirty-five million demon spirit coins!” The Alchemist Association also started bidding.
