Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 73 Auction House

and.

The waitresses inside were all women, wearing white dresses with wide-open necklines that revealed their long, slender legs beneath the short skirts, and white high heels, making them even more alluring.

The deep cleavage on her chest and the rounded buttocks under her short skirt were enough to make one's imagination run wild.

It has to be said that the owner of this place understands trends and men.

Qin Shuo led him to a VIP room upstairs, where he could clearly see everything in the auction hall.

The private room that Qin Shuo booked was quite nice.

The private room was exceptionally spacious, with carved beams and painted rafters, jade flooring, and a refreshing and pleasant atmosphere.

Furthermore, this room ensures absolute privacy, with doors and walls made of special materials.

when……

Soon, the clear sound of bells rang out, the auction house fell silent, and the auction was about to begin.

At this moment, all eyes in the room slowly focused on the auction stage.

At the very front is a crystal-clear, exquisitely beautiful circular platform.

An elderly man with white hair walked onto the round platform and announced the start of the auction.

Two young women stood three meters away from the circular platform. They were graceful and their bodies were covered by pink gauze cheongsams. They were responsible for presenting the auction items.

Initially, a few small items were sold, with the highest transaction price not exceeding one million, and everything proceeded smoothly.

"The fourth item up for auction is a Blood Moon Ice crystal, with a starting price of ten million," the white-haired old man announced from the round platform.

At the same time, a beautiful woman with bare arms and graceful steps, dressed in a pink gauze cheongsam, slowly walked onto the round platform, holding a jade plate covered with silk cloth in her hands.

The white-haired old man gently lifted the silk cloth, revealing a crystal-clear luster. A piece of crystal the size of a thumb appeared, shining brightly on the jade plate.

At the center of the crystal, a drop of bright red blood shimmers with a golden luster, sealed within, faintly exuding a powerful aura.

"What's so special about this ice-type spirit seed?"

Someone asked a question in the auction hall.

The white-haired old man explained that this was "Blood Moon Ice," which released ice magic that was more robust and had its power increased by 2.6 times.

"The starting price is 1000 million, and each bid must be at least 50 higher. Let the auction begin," the auctioneer announced.

Fang Yu's spirits lifted; this was exactly what he needed.

It not only concerns the little snow maiden's food, but also the situation of the mysterious ice ball in the spiritual world.

Since it absorbed the spiritual energy spilled by the Snow Wolf King at the Bo City breeding base, the Mysterious Ice Ball's effects have been enhanced.

If it weren't for the fact that he needed to absorb the first spirit seed he obtained to enhance his combat power, he would have been devoured by the mysterious ice ball.

"Eleven million." Fang Yu announced the bottom price through the microphone.

"Thirteen million!" Someone shouted out the price as soon as Fang Yu finished speaking.

"Fifteen million!" came the next bid.

The price in the market kept fluctuating, and in just a short time, it had reached a height of more than 20 million.

"Twenty-three million." Fang Yu raised the bid again.

"Twenty-four million." Suddenly, a voice came from another VIP room, competing with him.

Fang Yu immediately frowned.

“If we raise the price any further, it will exceed the value of this crystal,” Qin Shuo said.

"Try again."

"Twenty-five million!"

If the price exceeds this threshold, Fang Yu will have to give up, as neither his funds nor the item's value can support continuing the auction.

Looking at the calm auction house, the white-haired old man smiled and said, "The bid for VIP room number twelve is 25 million. Is there anyone else bidding?"

Seeing no one respond, the white-haired old man brought down the gavel. In the end, Fang Yu purchased the Blood Moon Ice for 25 million.

Soon, footsteps were heard outside the VIP room, and a figure pushed open the door and entered.

A fragrant breeze wafted by, and a beautiful woman in a gauze dress and cheongsam slowly walked up, handing the Blood Moon Ice to Fang Yu. When Fang Yu held this thumb-sized crystal in his hand, it unexpectedly emitted a dazzling blood-red light, enveloping his body and making it appear crimson, shimmering with golden threads.

Meanwhile, the mysterious ice hockey puck in the spiritual world also trembled, expressing its longing for it.

but.

Fang Yu was still pondering whether to let Xiao Xue Nu absorb the nutrients first to accelerate her entry into infancy.
Let the mysterious ice ball devour it to enhance cultivation efficiency and see if it can surpass the Nebula Demon Artifact.

Or perhaps you'll be lucky enough to awaken other effects?

After a moment of contemplation, he put away what he was holding, intending to decide what to do when he got back.

Next, Fang Yu and Qin Shuo discussed the items they had photographed while drinking some wine.

Finally, the main event arrived: a woman carefully carried a broken silver hoop onto the round platform. The hoop was about ten centimeters tall, old and unadorned, with nothing particularly remarkable about it.

The white-haired old man stepped forward, took it personally, placed it in his hand, and showed it to everyone.

"It's already damaged; one side of the silver band is completely missing."

"What's the point of having a broken silver hoop?"

Someone asked loudly, puzzled.

"Gentlemen, do not underestimate it; it is a relic from ancient times," the white-haired old man said solemnly.

"what exactly is it?"

"This item was discovered in an abandoned ancient tomb, and it has existed for a very long time," the white-haired old man said.

"There are plenty of museums around the world that house antiquities. They are not necessarily valuable just because they are old. What is their history?"

"It is no ordinary silver hoop. It is a magical artifact created by an ancient sage. Although it is incomplete, it contains mysterious spiritual power. The key point is that it can enslave demons of the commander level."

The white-haired old man finished speaking.

boom!
The auction house erupted in excitement as many people bid on the item with great enthusiasm.

"Twenty million!"

"Three hundred million!"

"Five hundred and fifty million!"

"One billion!"

"..."

At this moment, even those in the VIP rooms participated in the bidding, all entering the fray. This silver band, though damaged, still held significant value and was worth acquiring for important figures.

The scene was incredibly lively, with some big shots constantly raising the price loudly; they were all powerful figures.

"These guys, are they on some kind of aphrodisiac or are they on some kind of super-energetic injection?" Qin Shuo muttered.

"The power of the mind, the ability to enslave demons—just those two abilities alone are worth the price," Fang Yu said.

"But that's too exaggerated."

"Although the silver hoop is damaged, it is unknown whether it will be possible to repair it after scholars have studied it."

"It's an ancient craft, and we don't know which dynasty it dates back to. It's unlikely," Qin Shuo retorted.

Ultimately, the broken silver hoop sold for billions, an astonishing price, which gives an idea of ​​how expensive it would have been if it were intact.

The silver hoop was sold.

The auction has now come to an end!

Watching the scene unfold, Fang Yu and Qin Shuo slowly stood up and walked out of the VIP room.

During the journey, Fang Yu parted ways with Qin Shuo. He smelled slightly of alcohol and wanted to go for a walk outside.

As the sun set, he began a stroll along the Huangpu River, one of Shanghai's most famous tourist attractions.

He had been so engrossed in cultivation that he hadn't really appreciated the beautiful scenery of Shanghai.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Fang Yu calmly watched the lake reflecting the sunset, enjoying the beautiful scenery.

As darkness fell, he returned to Mingzhu's dormitory.
