Chapter 750 Auction (Part 3)
"1.8 Million Mid-Level Essence Stones,"
"2 Million,"
Evan was stunned when he saw the way people were bidding for the source pills and his mind went blank for a moment.
"If people continue to bid like this, then you might be able to get enough essence stones to buy the space stone..." Evan heard Cedar's voice and noticed he wasn't surprised by the fact that people were bidding crazily for the Source Pills.
"Hey Cedar, I know Source Pills are rare but this... Isn't this too much? I mean, the source pills I put for auction are just low-level pills, so why are they acting like this?"
Cedar rolled his eyes when he heard Evan. "Although they are low-level source pills, they can still give S Rankers a chance to become a Rank One Core Evolver. There are many people who are stuck at S rank because they were not able to get their hands on a source pill, but now that there are ten source pills in front of them, do you think they will let them go easily?"
Hearing Cedar, Evan looked at the people who were bidding for the source pills and noticed that most of them were S rankers and all of them had desperate looks on their faces.
'So that's how it is. All of these people are stuck at S rank for so long that they don't care about the price or the level of the source pill anymore. They just want to get their hands on it so that they can become a Rank One Core Evolver...' Evan thought inwardly and shook his head.
Suddenly, he remembered something and looked at Cedar with a strange look on his face.
"By the way, you are not interested in source pills? Earlier when I asked if you needed those pills for other Dryads, you told me to put them up for auction. Why is that?"
Before giving source pills to the winged woman to put them up for auction, Evan had asked Cedar if he needed those pills for other Drayds. But Cedar told him he didn't need the source pills and asked him to put them up for auction.
"Dryads don't need source pills to become Core Evolvers," Cedar said when he heard Evan. "Once a Dryad reaches S rank, and if they have the potential to become a ranked evolver, the world tree can help them evolve their core to the next rank."
Evan was stunned and felt as if something clicked in his mind when he heard Cedar's words.
"Source... World Tree..." He muttered and frowned deeply. He felt he was very close to discovering something important but couldn't take the final step.
This feeling was very similar to what happened to him a few days ago when he was trying to think about how he was able to turn Asher into a Shadow Undead.
'Damn, don't tell me this thing is related to the destruction of the Universal Tree that I saw when I entered the closed world of Dryads for the first time...' Evan rubbed his eyebrows and felt a mild headache.
"2.7 Million,"
"2.8 Million,"
"2.8 Million Going once, going twice_,"
"3 Million,"
The price of the source pills continued to increase and soon reached three million.
"I need five million mid-level Essence Stones to buy the Space Stone," Evan stopped thinking about the World Tree when the price reached three million and looked at the people who were bidding with a hopeful look.
In just a short period of time, the price reached 4 million. When the price reached four million mid-level Essence Stones, the bidding finally slowed down.
Most of the high-ranking evolvers were here to try their luck on the Enlightenment Stone so they didn't want to spend too much of their wealth on the pills.
On the other hand, S Rankers and the low-level core evolvers who were bidding for the pills were reaching their limit.
"4.3 Million,"
"4.3 Million going once, going tw_"
"4.5 Million,"
"This gentleman, whose face is not as handsome as mine, just bid 4.5 million essence stones. Anyone willing to bid higher?" Lucian said and looked at the people.
When no one raised the price even after a few seconds, Lucian smiled and clapped his hand.
"Since no one is raising the price, these source pills are sold to bidder number 897. Congratulations."
"Damn it, couldn't these people have raised the price a little more," Evan said in a slightly annoyed voice when the pills were sold for 4.5 million essence stones.
He needed five million essence stones to buy the space stone, and he was still a little short of reaching his goal.
"Well whatever, I still have that thing left..." Evan shook his head after a moment and stopped thinking about the Space Stone.
"The next item we are auctioning off, although not as rare as the Enlightenment Stone, is still something many of you will not want to miss out on," Lucian announced loudly after the source pills were sold, then glanced behind him.
Soon the fox woman brought a storage ring and handed it to Lucian.
"The next thing we are going to auction is something that was provided to us by the genius artefact refiner of the Star City, Master Ardan," Lucian announced and the next second, an airship that was ten meters in size appeared on the auction stage.
The expressions of the people in the auction house changed when they heard the name of the artefact refiner and saw the airship that Lucian had taken out from the storage ring.
"A mid-level Rank Three Airship..." Cedar muttered in a stunned voice and looked at the airship with shining eyes.
The people who were present in other private rooms were also stunned when they saw the jet-black airship and their expressions changed.
Lucian was very satisfied when he saw the expressions of the people, so he nodded his head and announced, "The starting bid for this airship will be 500 thousand high-level essence stones, and the increment will be 50,000 essence stones each!"
"What the..." Evan sucked in a breath of cold air when he heard the starting price for the Rank Three airship and looked at Lucian in shock. Five hundred thousand high-level essence stones were equivalent to 50 million mid-level Essence Stones.
Evan was still shocked after hearing the price when people who were interested in the airship started to bid.
"Five hundred and fifty thousand,"
"Seven hundred thousand,"
Most of the people who were bidding were from the private rooms as only they had enough wealth to bid for the airship.
Evan gulped upon seeing the way people were increasing the bid and vowed that in the future he would definitely create a shadow undead who would be able to refine artefacts. Suddenly, he noticed Cedar pressing the red button in front of him that could be used to bid for the items.
'Don't tell me he is also...' Evan was stunned when he saw Cedar also wanted to bid for the airship. He wanted to remind him that he was here for the Enlightenment Stone, but before he could say anything, Cedar pressed the button and announced his bid.
"Three million high-level essence stones."
The rowdy auction venue suddenly became deadly silent.
