Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 30 An Unexpected Joy

Just as Lin Ran was pondering, the black-robed auctioneer explained in detail the effects and origins of the Dragon Blood Chrysanthemum. His explanation was quite well received, and it seemed that many people were interested in the Dragon Blood Chrysanthemum.

They may not know how to use Dragon Blood Chrysanthemum to make Vajra Dragon Bone Pill, but this herb has extremely strong medicinal properties. Even if it is not used to make medicine, it is very effective if simply consumed.

"Gentlemen, I think you are all aware of the effects of this Dragon's Blood Chrysanthemum, especially for men who take it, hehehe..."

The black-robed alchemist chuckled, revealing a knowing smile that all men understood: "According to the assessment, the starting price for this Dragon Blood Chrysanthemum is set at two hundred thousand. Gentlemen, let's begin."

The price of 200,000 was obviously a bit too high, and those who had initially shown some interest immediately became dejected.

Two hundred thousand is not a small amount. For them, Dragon Blood Chrysanthemum is just a medicinal herb that can strengthen the body and make their spears move like dragons. This herb is not unique; there are substitutes.

Spending 200,000 yuan to buy such a medicinal herb is obviously not cost-effective.

"Two hundred and one thousand!"

Of course, there are also wealthy young masters and noblemen who are not short of money. For these people, prowess in that area represents their status.

"Two hundred and forty thousand!"

"Two hundred and eighty thousand!"

"..."

As time went on, the number of bidders decreased due to the rising price, until finally only a handful remained to compete, and the price had already reached 380,000.

Those men were all spoiled brats from Blackrock City, each with a pale face and dark circles under their eyes, looking utterly weak and frail.

But at this moment, they were arguing heatedly over this Dragon Blood Chrysanthemum, their faces flushed and their mouths crooked and necks thick.

"Five hundred thousand."

Just as the young masters were vying for it, a calm voice suddenly raised the price of the medicinal herb to a level that ordinary people could not reach.

The sudden surge in price attracted the attention of countless people. The few spoiled young men who had been scrambling to buy it were stunned on the spot, and some of them angrily shouted at the source of the voice.

"Who dared to steal my things!"

However, when their gaze fell upon the private room on the second floor, their words came to an abrupt halt, like a duck with its neck caught in its throat, unable to utter a sound.

Those who can afford to bid hundreds of thousands or millions are not ordinary people, and they received warnings almost immediately after the auction began today.

Do not provoke the VIPs in VIP room number one on the second floor. Violators will be held responsible for the consequences!

If it were an ordinary warning, these spoiled brats who were used to throwing their weight around wouldn't have taken it to heart. But this warning was given to the elders of their families by the city lord of Black Rock City, so they had no choice but to obey it.

Without a doubt, after Lin Ran spoke, all the spoiled rich kids shut their mouths and waited for the auctioneer to strike the gavel.

With a loud thud, the ownership of the Dragon Blood Chrysanthemum was announced.

After the Dragon Blood Chrysanthemum was auctioned, the auction reached its climax. In the following time, all kinds of treasures and rare items began to appear one after another, including various cultivation techniques, combat skills, medicinal herbs, and even prescriptions.

Although these things were nothing to Lin Ran, they were all extraordinary treasures to everyone present.

For a moment, the entire venue was filled with excited shouts of bidding.

If it weren't for the large number of guards around the auction house, and the presence of important figures like the city lord on the second floor, these guys arguing so heatedly would probably have already broken into a fight!

Lin Ran also made a small purchase, acquiring some interesting little items.

For example, rare and precious medicinal herbs, or the venom of the fifth-tier magical beast, the Heavenly Poison Wolf Spider...

However, although the auction was in full swing, the big clients in the second-floor private rooms rarely made any bids, as if they were waiting for something.

As the auction was drawing to a close, a treasure that caused a stir among the audience, even surprising Lin Ran, was brought up by the auctioneer.

It was a jade bottle of blood, a bottle of dark green blood, as if it were a gemstone!

"This is the second-to-last item in this grand auction: the essence blood of the sixth-tier magical beast, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King!"

"What?!"

"The essence blood of a sixth-tier magical beast!?"

"When did our Blackrock Auction House acquire such resources? We even have the essence blood of a sixth-tier magical beast?!"

As the auctioneer spoke, the entire room fell into a brief silence, followed by a commotion.

A sixth-tier magical beast—that's a terrifying existence comparable to a Dou Huang powerhouse! How could its essence blood actually appear in this small Black Rock City? This is simply a fantasy.

"What on earth is going on?!"

In private room number two, the city lord of Black Rock City suddenly stood up, and the terrifying aura of a Dou Ling expert emanated from him, causing everyone in the room to feel immense pressure.

The staff of Black Rock Auction, especially those standing on the side, were trembling and drenched in sweat.

"I need a reasonable explanation."

The Blackrock City Lord's gaze fell on the staff member: "This item is not on the auction list you gave me."

"Lord, spare me! Lord, spare me!"

The staff member suddenly knelt down, tears streaming down his face, and cried out, "It was added at the last minute! It was added at the last minute! The chairman forbade any of us to disclose it, so I didn't tell you!"

"Added at the last minute?"

The Blackrock City Lord frowned slightly, looking at the wailing staff. Knowing that making things difficult for them would be pointless, he immediately snorted coldly: "Bring your guild leader over here."

"Yes, Lord City Lord."

The staff member hurriedly nodded and fled the private room as if escaping, while the city lord's gaze lingered on the private rooms on the second floor.

Suddenly, a figure appeared before him.

The figure was voluptuous, with a slender figure and a supple waist, as alluring as a water snake.

Her alluring figure, with just one glance, was enough to shake the city lord's heart.

It wasn't that the city lord was a pervert, but rather that he actually sensed an irresistible and terrifying aura emanating from that graceful figure.

"A Battle King level expert?!"

The Blackrock City Lord's expression changed drastically. He seemed to understand why the president of the Blackrock Auction House, who had always been accommodating to him, would conceal such auction news.

The dark green essence of the magical beast shimmered with an eerie glow under the auction house lights, attracting the attention of countless people.

But the auctioneer's words extinguished their hopes.

"The value of the blood essence of this sixth-tier magical beast, the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King, is self-evident. Moreover, the seller said that she does not need money, but rather a buyer to do something for her."

"Refine a grade six pill!"

These words caused the entire room to fall into dead silence once again.

Inside the private room, Lin Ran smiled calmly, his gaze falling on the graceful figure.

"That's interesting."

"They're coming for me, aren't they?"
