I gained immortality in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 85 Purchase

"Eight and a half million!"

"Eight, seven million!"

"Fang Dunlin, you think you can get this stone for just 8.7 million? I'll pay 9 million!"

“…………”

The auctioneer on the stage felt slightly displeased as he looked at the scene where only a small number of people were bidding.

As a top auctioneer, selling an item at its estimated price or a premium is what he excels at. Isn't this scene a slap in the face to him?

He immediately ordered a female waitress from the audience to go up onto the stage and stand in front of the five-colored stone.

For a moment, everyone who was bidding stopped and looked at the booth, wanting to see what the auctioneer was going to do.

The waitress placed her hand on the five-colored stone, which was about the size of a human head. A blue energy wave slowly emanated from her hand, staining the stone.

As energy was input, the light patterns on the five-colored stone became brighter and brighter, and then suddenly burst forth.

With a whoosh, five-colored light enveloped the entire booth, as if a rainbow had descended upon the auction hall.

Everyone who witnessed this scene widened their eyes, never expecting that the Five-Colored Stone could emit five-colored light after being baptized with magical energy.

Jiang Shang frowned as he looked at the five-colored stones on the display stand.

Just as it was shining brightly, the [Heavenly Thunder] in his spiritual universe began to tremble wildly.

Jiang Shang had never seen it so excited before. Even when facing the wind-type soul seed in the Cloud Dragon Crevice, its excitement was nothing compared to this moment.

"Five-Colored Stones and Five Elements"

Because there is no metal element in this world, Jiang Shang cannot be sure whether the five-colored stone in front of him is the same as the five-colored stone he knows.

However, the thing that makes [Dutian Divine Thunder] so eager is definitely more valuable to it than the spirit seed!

Moreover, this spiritual object itself is made of metal, so it's not wrong to say that it has the properties of metal.

After calming the divine thunder in his mind, Jiang Shang turned his attention back to the five-colored stone.

"I must get this five-colored stone no matter what. As for Ling Lei, we'll see what fate brings," Jiang Shang sighed and thought.

He then raised the sign in his hand high.

As soon as the auctioneer saw his paddle, he smiled and said, "Mr. No. 89 has bid nine million one hundred thousand."

If you raise your paddle but don't announce the number, then the default increment will be the minimum amount.

Upon hearing the auctioneer's words, those who enjoyed collecting such treasures or were ready to gamble on them all began to raise their paddles.

The auctioneer's face lit up with a wide smile as he watched the endless stream of hands raised from the seats.

"Nine million two hundred thousand"

"Nine and a half million"

"Ten million!"

…………

"Fifteen million!!"

"Any more bids? Fifteen million!" The auctioneer tapped a small gavel on the table from the podium.

Jiang Shang hesitated when faced with the figure of "15 million," because his total assets amounted to only 32 million.

"Fifteen million, twice!!" The little hammer struck the table heavily again, as if striking Jiang Shang's heart, reminding him that if he didn't bid soon, his treasure would fall into someone else's hands.

"Fine," Jiang Shang took a deep breath, raised his right hand holding the sign high, and shouted, "Sixteen million!"

Seeing this, Lang Xiuhai tried to grab his hand and questioned, "Are you crazy! Spending so much money on this broken stone won't get you a spirit seed!"

Jiang Shang shook his head and said, "I'm not crazy. This stone is more important to me than the spiritual lightning!"

"Sixteen million, three times!! Sold!!" The auctioneer's gavel slammed heavily on the podium, announcing the ownership of the five-colored stone.

Hearing this, Jiang Shang felt relieved, as he was afraid that several more bidders would try to take the five-colored stone from him.

After announcing the five-colored stones, the waiter slowly took away the plate containing the stones, replacing it with a small blue-purple bird encased in glass.

"Haa~~~"

A piercing cry came from the bird's beak.

Upon hearing this shout, everyone felt as if their brains were being pricked by needles, their vision blurred, and they felt dizzy and nauseous.

Fortunately, the worst among them were all mid-level mages like Jiang Shang, and their dizziness quickly subsided. They stared at the spirit lightning on the stage with delight.

Just as described, this spiritual lightning can disturb one's mind.

"I won't go into too much detail about this spirit seed, as I'm sure you've all seen it in the brochures we've distributed. Now, let's move on to the auction. The starting price for the spirit seed is ten million, and each bid must be at least 50 higher!" the auctioneer announced.

"Ten million and five hundred thousand!" someone shouted eagerly as soon as the auctioneer finished speaking.

"Thirteen million!" A very arrogant voice rang out, breaking the previous bid.

"Thirteen million and five hundred thousand!"

"Fifteen million!"

Upon hearing this arrogant voice, Jiang Shang looked over curiously, wondering who had the audacity to suddenly raise the price by so much.

Seeing that the person shouting was a middle-aged man in a beige suit, Lang Xiuhai explained, "That man was from the Li family. It seems they've taken a liking to this spirit seed and are planning to buy it."

Soon, the spirit seed was bought by a middle-aged man from the Li family for 25 million.

Jiang Shang stopped paying attention to the rest, because the prices were getting higher and higher, and he couldn't buy them even if he emptied his remaining money.

Lang Xiuhai, however, made several bids to purchase a magical artifact – the Spirit Crown Ring.

It allows summoning mages to increase the strength of the monsters they summon when casting high-level spells, for example, replacing a creature that was originally a minor general with a monster of the level of a major general.

Lang Xiuhai also spent 47 million to acquire it.

After making the purchase, Jiang Shang got up and left the auction site with Lang Xiuhai.

After leaving, Jiang Shang and his group followed the waiter's instructions to collect the items they had bid on.

The moment Jiang Shang handed over his bank card and it was swiped, a voice rang in his ears: "Ding, 16 million has been deducted, remaining amount is 15,023,911 yuan."

Although his wallet was once again somewhat empty, it could not conceal Jiang Shang's desire for the Five-Colored Stone.

After the money was transferred, the organizers brought up the briefcase containing the five-colored stones.

After confirming that the item inside was genuine, Jiang Shang reached out and lifted the box along with the stone, then followed the captain out of the China World Trade Center.

He couldn't wait to go home and find out why the five-colored stone had caused such a big reaction from the [Heavenly Thunder].
