Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard
Chapter 22 Auction
"By the way, what are you here to buy?"
Without continuing the topic of Simon, Xia Jian looked at Phyllis and asked with some curiosity.
He was there to watch the spectacle, and if he came across anything related to knights and the price was right, he would buy it and take a look.
Phyllis hesitated for a moment before speaking in a deep voice: "Bitao Rui".
"Azure Waves?"
Xia Jian thought carefully and realized that he seemed to have heard it somewhere before.
Before long, Xia Jian remembered what Bi Tao Rui was, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.
Bitao Rui is made from the nectar of a plant. The production process is very complicated, and the yield is also very low. It is a kind of thing that is tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away.
The effect of Bi Tao Rui is very simple: it gives someone without knightly aptitude a basic cultivation talent!
The reason why it is said to be tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away is because the production process of Bitao Rui means that it is expensive.
As for how expensive it is?
Summer needs to sell two thousand pills that cost 8 silver each!
But for the rich, that amount of money is enough to hire a mid-level knight as a bodyguard; who would buy such a thing for their own training?
Moreover, whether he can break through to the level of a beginner knight is still unknown; only wealthy second-generation individuals would probably buy it to play around with.
Xia Jian never expected that a businessman like Phyllis would do such a losing business.
Phyllis didn't speak, but instead looked at Leia sitting next to her.
As a true businessman, he would naturally not make a losing deal; in fact, he saw the potential in Xia Jian.
As Xia Jian had mentioned during their last meeting, Leia possessed no knightly talent whatsoever.
The problem is, Leia already had the strength of an adult at that time, and you're telling me that's not talent?
So for a moment, Phyllis was also confused and didn't understand where the problem was.
After repeated confirmation and with Xia Jian's affirmation, he knew that the problem must lie with Xia Jian.
However, those pills alone were clearly not enough to achieve this, so the problem lay in the basic cultivation method that Xia Jian had given him.
However, he dared not delve too deeply into the cultivation methods, because there were some things that were not for people like them to get involved in, and knowing too much could easily lead to mistakes.
After all, if even a basic cultivation technique is this powerful, who knows what kind of connections Xia Jian has behind him?
Therefore, in order to build a good relationship with Natsume, Phyllis had the idea of buying Bitao Rui.
What if their family could produce a mid-level or even stronger knight?
When it comes to doing business, you have to seize opportunities. Even if you fail, at least you still have Xia Jian. Young people value relationships, and you never know when you might need Xia Jian to help you out.
…………
Xia Jian was unaware of Phyllis's little thoughts; everything was left to Phyllis's imagination.
However, after learning that Bitao Rui bought it for Leia, it became clear how much Phyllis adored this little niece.
After all, one or two thousand gold coins is not a small amount for Phyllis's family, which shows how much determination they had to make to buy it.
…………
The auction started quickly. The first few items were quite ordinary, and even some of the limited-purchase pills available during the summer appeared.
As for why there are purchase restrictions, besides Phyllis's desire to create scarcity, another reason is that Xia Jian is too lazy and only needs enough money to spend.
Now he's practically a millionaire, and he could eat so many third-generation pills he'd vomit blood and still not finish them all. If it weren't for the fear that he'd need to modify the pill formula for his cultivation technique later, he wouldn't bother asking Phyllis for help.
"Next up is the recently popular elixir, the first-generation elixir, and then..."
Hearing the host's voice, Xia Jian's eyes widened in disbelief as he turned to look at Phyllis: "You didn't change your name?"
Whose elixir is called "first generation"?
It needs a fancy name, otherwise people who don't know it might think it's a cheap medicine.
"Didn't you say it was going to be called the first-generation elixir? I thought you were going to continue researching it."
Phyllis blinked; he couldn't very well say he was too lazy to come up with a name.
Moreover, if there's a first generation, there's bound to be a second generation, and maybe even a whole series of products. Besides, as long as the medicine is effective, the name doesn't matter.
"never mind."
Xia Jian waved his hand, too lazy to pay attention to Phyllis.
The next items up for auction were bizarre and unusual.
Useless items used by famous people, a broken knight's sword belonging to a high-ranking knight, and various ancient books that are said to contain treasure.
Some rare and precious materials are relatively normal, but most can only be used to refine certain special medicines.
"The next item is the Demon-Sealing Slash of the Mad Knight. It is said that the Mad Knight, who was a mid-level knight, used this move to kill a high-level knight."
Upon hearing that it was a Knight Technique, Natsume instantly perked up.
He did have the idea of sticking to the basic swordsmanship path, since the sword energy added to the basic swordsmanship was incredibly powerful, much stronger than ordinary knight techniques.
But on second thought, Natsumi wanted to see if sword energy could be added to knight techniques, which would also give him more ways to attack.
As for this Mad Knight Xia Jian, he had never heard of him, but he seemed to be very powerful, because it is not an easy thing to cross realms and kill high-level beings.
"I've heard of him. The Mad Knight cultivates a very evil cultivation method. It is said that he will go berserk as soon as he sees blood, and his strength will increase greatly. His best achievement is killing a high-ranking knight."
"However, the Mad Knight was seriously injured and disappeared later. I didn't expect to see his knight skills today."
Seeing that Xia Jian didn't know about the Mad Knight, Phyllis explained.
Xia Jian nodded, then looked at the booth.
The price had already reached 200 gold, which shows how precious Knight Skills are.
Moreover, the fact that it was used on such famous figures caused the price of the Demon-Sealing Slash to keep rising, with no sign of stopping.
"250 gold!"
Seeing that Xia Jian seemed interested in buying, Phyllis didn't hesitate to ask for a price.
"Stop taking pictures, or you won't have enough money when you buy Bitao Rui later."
Knowing what Phyllis was thinking, Xia Jian shook his head and interrupted her.
Bitao Rui may not be the best thing, but never underestimate its value. Even if people buy it and just look at it as a toy, there are still plenty of people who will buy it.
"It's alright, I brought enough money with me today. Taking pictures of just two things won't cause any problems."
Phyllis shook his head, smiled, and continued bidding.
At this point, the price of the Demon-Sealing Slash skill had reached 295 gold, which was basically the maximum price for a mid-grade knight skill.
After all, a knight is a knight, and a rich man is a rich man. A knight is not necessarily rich, and a rich man will not necessarily spend a lot of money to buy knight skills for his subordinates.
Unless it's a very close relative, you should still think twice before doing it at this point.
"300 gold!"
Just when Phyllis thought victory was assured, an untimely voice rang out.
