Chapter 301: Spirit Stone Cave
The man didn\'t bid a spirit stone more and most of the others were already too disheartened to continue bidding.
Yu Min saw that there was no more bid and asked, "Does anyone have a bid higher than 2020 spirit stones?"
No one dared bid anymore.
"2020 spirit stones going once."
"2020 spirit stones going twice."
"2020 spirit stones going thrice. Sold," Yu Min said as she hit the surface with her gavel.
"The armor has been sold to the guest on N4 for 2020 spirit stones," she announced and proceeded to start preparing another item to sell.
Alex should have been incredibly happy to get his hands on the armor, but he couldn\'t right now. In fact, the emotion he was feeling right now could be in a way considered the exact opposite.
Fear
He was terrified out of his mind that he was being monitored by a person with a spiritual sense. The spiritual sense was hard to come by as barely anyone could get their hands on the Spirit Cleansing Lilies due to their difficulty in harvesting them.? That meant that…
\'This man most likely has a saint realm cultivation,\' Alex thought.
Ma Rong had told him that Saint Realm folks were available in the Crimson Empire and that they liked to hide, but Alex never thought that he would actually meet one.
Not only meet but get targeted by one. Alex had a perfectly calm face, in fact, he even had a small smile on his face, but on the inside, he was freaking out.
\'What does he want? Is he after something I own? Did he notice my spiritual sense by some chance? Did he notice my talent and body? Is he after my body? Is he a pervert? Was he there in the coliseum when I made the 60% pill? Does he have good intentions or malicious ones? Why is he keeping his spirituals sense on me for so long?\'
Hundreds of thoughts ran across Ning\'s head, but none he could answer.
The auction went along normally, and the people as well as the Saint Realm man bid on the different items. But Alex could not focus on any of it.
All of his focus was on not making a single wrong move that could tip off the man that he had spiritual sense and that he could sense him too.
The man already seemed interested in him, he didn\'t want to give any more reason.
After half an hour or so, Alex started to feel less nervous as he got used to the constant supervision. He finally started paying attention to the auction.
"The deed of the land in Cardinal City has been sold to the gentlemen at I9 for 4500 spirit stones," Yu Min announced.
The land sold just now was on the outskirts of the town and away from the market and other business places. Even then the land was sold for 45 True spirit stones.
Alex was surprised how far people would go to get a piece of land in the capital city.
The auction continued and more and more amazing items started getting auctioned off. An armor that could stop any attacks below the True Lord realm, a pair of communication talismans that worked up to a thousand kilometers distance, a poison that could kill anyone under the True King realm if they did not get an antidote in the next 5 minutes.
The things being sold in the auction were amazing and something that Alex had never seen before in his life.
He even saw an Earth grade Thousand Poisons Antidote, a True rank version of Hundred Poison Antidote,? with a harmony of 42% be sold for nearly 50 True Spirit stones.
"We are onto the final 2 items of the day. The 2nd most valuable item of today\'s auction is this," Yu Min said as she revealed a piece of paper.
People started wondering what it was and waited for her to start speaking. "This is a contract that allows you to claim ownership to the newly discovered spirit stone cave in Cochineal city."
"The bid will start at 50 True spirit stones and go up 50 spirit stones at minimum, begin." The gavel hit the table.
This was a very expensive item and not many people could afford it.
\'Oh wow, a deed to a spirit stone cave. Anyone who manages to get it would be incredibly rich,\' Alex thought.
Spirit stone caves were where the spirit stones were mined. Spirit stones were normal stones in caves that mutated after absorbing all the energy of a spirit vine and running it dry.
If a spirit vine was of Common rank, the spirit stones that formed would be normal spirit stones.
If a spirit vine was of True rank, the spirit stones that formed would be True spirit stones.
The spirit stones always formed in a cuboid structure but were incredibly hard to break off from the walls. Not only that, but they were also very delicate and could easily lose all Qi in it if one were to accidentally damage it too hard.
So anyone that owned spirit stone caves would also have to hire talented and strong workers so that the harvest would be done with minimum damage to the spirit stones.
Still, anyone that owned a spirit stone cave was bound to get rich, given that they didn\'t mess up really bad at acquiring quality workers.
Alex saw that most of the people really wanted it but not many could bid for its immense price. Thankfully for everyone else, the man at D4 did not get in on the bidding war.
People kept on bidding and the bid soon reached 70 spirit stones. That was more than the cost entire 23 pills he sold 2 days ago. It still didn\'t stop increasing.
In the end, the spirit stone cave\'s ownership was sold to the guest in room B10.
