Chapter 1585: Chapter 1586: Compulsive Bidding Disorder
"Six hundred thousand!"
Who would have thought that as soon as the price was updated, it would immediately be outbid.
The bidding voices rose one after another, and in no time, it had already reached one million one hundred thousand!
Just a mere plaything, yet it fetched a million gold!
Ye Luo was quite disdainful, what use could this thing possibly have? Basically, it’s just a camping tent. He really couldn’t understand the fuss about it.
So from the beginning, Ye Luo never even placed a bid.
But right at that moment, Ye Luo heard a shout—a person was bidding, but his words caught Ye Luo’s attention.
"I’ll offer one million two hundred thousand gold. This thing has no real value, but it’s a great gift. Everyone, please don’t compete with me. I’m currently pursuing a lady who loves peculiar things, so please, do me this favor!"
"Hmph, do you a favor? Buy it if you have the money, if not, don’t bid. This is an auction, who would pity you?"
...
However, Ye Luo wasn’t bothered by their words; instead, he was thinking.
Indeed, the Crystal Palace isn’t of much use, yet it’s perfect for gifting.
A palace that can enlarge or shrink at will, and it’s such a beautiful palace too. If I bring it back, Ling Qingya and the others would probably love it!
Thinking of this, Ye Luo raised his bidding paddle: "I’ll take this, two million gold!"
What!
In an instant, all eyes turned to where Ye Luo was!
This guy must be crazy!
It’s only one million two hundred thousand gold right now. Many people knew that at most, it would go up to one million five hundred thousand, and even that would be a sky-high price!
But suddenly, this guy jumps in, not bidding until now, and when he does, it’s straight to two million!
Isn’t this just bullying!
Who would dare to compete? This guy clearly has too much money to know what to do with it!
Without a doubt, when Ye Luo placed his bid, no one dared to bid again!
After all, spending two million gold on such a thing really seemed not worth it in many people’s eyes.
Two million?
Is that a lot?
Indeed!
Too bad, Ye Luo himself didn’t even know how much money he had and really didn’t care about the mere two million gold!
"Congratulations to this guest, for obtaining the Crystal Palace!"
"Next, we will auction today’s seventy-fourth item. This is a rare flower. When we at Jubao Pavilion acquired it, we were unsure where it was from, its name, or its effect. However, one of our auctioneers suggests that it might be a seed of the Qi Soul Wood. Qi Soul Wood is an extremely special divine wood, possessing the mystical effect of nurturing the soul! But since we cannot confirm this information, the flower is only starting at the minimum price of ten thousand gold, with free increments on each bid!"
Divine wood that nurtures the soul!
Ye Luo’s eyes lit up suddenly!
However, as the auctioneer said, this was just one auctioneer’s opinion. It was quite risky. If it’s not true, then it’s a waste of money!
"Xiao Yue, quickly, check if this flower is really the seed of the Qi Soul Wood!"
Ye Luo immediately instructed Xiao Yue, since the Moon God Recording has documented many things, maybe it would yield some insight!
"Kid, are you thinking of bidding on this thing?"
Ao Long’s voice came through. After Ao Long awakened, he noticed the presence of the Moon God Recording, Xiao Qi, and others, but he didn’t pay much attention as he wasn’t fully aware of their functions.
Ye Luo’s words naturally let Ao Long understand Ye Luo’s intention, so he asked directly.
Ye Luo then remembered that Ao Long was already awake. And who was Ao Long? A true member of the Divine Dragon race. Perhaps Ao Long could recognize this flower!
"Elder, do you recognize this flower? Is it truly the seed of the Qi Soul Wood?"
"Yes, that’s right, it is indeed the seed of the Qi Soul Wood. The Qi Soul Wood is quite unique, its flower is its seed, which is rather unusual, so I do know about it."
Ye Luo was delighted in his heart, he didn’t expect it to be true!
A treasure that can nurture the soul is practically priceless. Prior to this, Ye Luo had never even heard of such a wonderful thing!
However, just as Ye Luo was rejoicing, Ao Long threw cold water on him!
"Kid, don’t get too excited. Although it’s indeed the seed of the Qi Soul Wood, do you know it takes a hundred years to bloom and a hundred years for the bloom to mature? Only when it completes its hundredth year can it be used as a seed, and once planted, it takes a thousand years to sprout and ten thousand years to be usable. Are you sure you want to wait that long?"
Ten thousand years!
No, more than ten thousand years—it’ll take over eleven thousand years to be usable!
Ye Luo was stunned. Could it be that after finding such a great thing, he would have to give it up?
However, just then, the voice of the Moon God Recording rang out: "Master, I have gathered all the information. The seed of the Qi Soul Wood is called the Qi Soul Flower. Its flowering period is one hundred years. Besides what Elder Ao Long mentioned, the seed of the Qi Soul Wood can also be refined into Qi Soul Pills! Qi Soul Pills have special effects, not only strengthening the soul but also allegedly granting the user some special divine skills, although exactly which skills would depend on chance!"
What!
The Qi Soul Flower actually had that effect too, and even Ao Long was taken aback. He didn’t expect that Ye Luo would possess something with more extensive knowledge than he did!
Of course, this doesn’t mean the Moon God Recording is more powerful than Ao Long!
It’s just that Ao Long, being a living being, only remembers what he chooses to. Naturally, he can’t remember everything he has experienced!
However, the Moon God Recording is different, as it is a book itself meant to document everything, so it’s not surprising it knows more than Ao Long!
Below, the bidding voices rose one after another, since even though it was just a rumor, it was a treasure for nurturing the soul, and who wouldn’t want that?
Even if there’s only a chance it’s true, it’s still an opportunity!
Besides, those who came here can freely toss out tens or hundreds of thousands of gold just to try their luck, so there were definitely many such people.
Thus, at this moment, the price of the Qi Soul Flower had already been driven up to over thirty thousand!
And the price was still rising.
"Master, refining Qi Soul Pills requires several different spiritual materials, but the Qi Soul Flower is the most difficult to acquire. Xiao Yue suggests that the master can purchase it."
The voice of the Moon God Recording sounded once more, offering its suggestion.
And upon hearing about the effects of the Qi Soul Pill, Ao Long naturally agreed: "Indeed, kid, I’ve also heard of the Qi Soul Pill. It’s said to have extremely unique effects, like gambling with fate, but it’s exceedingly rare. If you have spare money, you might as well buy it!"
