Chapter 974: Primordial Soul Wizard Form, Hundred Flowers and Thousand Trees! (6)
On one hand, he came to participate in these events to sell the fifth-circle breakthrough potion he had refined for a good price. On the other hand, he wanted to prepare some precious resources for breaking through to the primordial soul realm.
According to the agreement between him and a fourth-circle wizard in the organization, he should have given this fifth-circle potion to that fourth-circle wizard. Who would have thought that the guy would die? To him, this worked out well for him.
"However, it’s said that a few old geezers who have been missing for a long time and are half a step into the primordial soul realm will participate in this auction. There will inevitably be an open and secret competition.”
…
The next day.
The Star Auction began.
Levi arrived at the venue early.
He was wearing a White Wolf Mask that could change his appearance. Together with the Hermit Rune, he concealed his aura to avoid being recognized by the hidden enemies.
There were many participants in this auction, so the seats in the private rooms were all used by the organizer to bid in advance.
The starting bid for a private room was 200,000 Aether Stones!In the end, other than those wizards with power and influence, most ordinary wizards did not have the qualifications to enter the box at all.
Levi was also reluctant to spend hundreds of thousands to buy a private room.
The auction hall was in a hubbub until a solemn-looking wizard wearing blue scales arrived.
He looked around. Suddenly, a powerful spiritual force swept through the auction house and even the entire Sea Capital.
"A primordial soul wizard!” Levi’s heart skipped a beat.
In front of this spiritual force fluctuation, he felt like a small boat that could capsize at any time.
"I’m the City Lord of the Sea Capital, Ronan Beasley, a primordial soul wizard of the Ocean Abyss Alliance. You can call me [Developing Sea Wizard]. I’ll preside over the order of this auction!”
"Let me say this first. Fighting is prohibited in the Sea Capital. Everyone can compete based on their financial resources. If anyone violates the rules, I will kill them on the spot… At the same time, if anyone outside the Sea Capital intends to do anything illegal, then be prepared to be wanted by the Star Tower.”
The primordial soul wizard’s words were sharp and intimidating.
It made many people who were scheming calm down.
"There should be nothing happening in the Sea Capital, but outside the city… It’s hard to say. The credibility and authority of the Star Tower are no longer there.” Levi sighed inwardly.
The wizards were very efficient. Without wasting any time, the auction began.
It was said that over a hundred items were being auctioned at the Star Auction this time. Every single one of them would be the finale item of the various Great Wizard Cities’ auctions under normal circumstances.
The first item up for auction was a fourth-circle breakthrough potion that could increase the success rate by more than 20%. It was much worse than Levi’s succubus potion.
Even so, the potion was still auctioned off for a sky-high price of 600,000!
This made Levi lose confidence in the next fifth-circle breakthrough potion.
One item after another was auctioned off, and almost none of them were left unauctioned. There were all good items in the auction, and Levi was also envious of them.
He kept his mission in mind – elemental metal and fifth-circle breakthrough potion.
Finally, in the second half of the auction, he finally got the item he needed.
A piece of blue metal the size of a child’s head emitted a sparkling light on its surface. Rich water elemental power filled the venue.
"The next item is a level 5 water elemental metal called [Ripple Meteorite Metal]. The starting price is 300,000 Aether Stones, and each increment must be no less than 1000 Aether Stones!”
Ripple Meteorite Metal was usually used to create defensive Wizard Tools. It was extremely sturdy and had a magical rebound power.
"The Ripple Meteorite Metal can be perfectly smelted with my Tremor Metal to create a divine weapon exclusive to the Golden Snake Breathing Technique. As expected of the Star Auction. It didn’t disappoint me!”
Levi knew that if he bought this Meteorite Metal, he would lose the right to compete for the fifth-circle potion.
However, this was an opportunity that could not be missed.
Compared to the distant fifth-circle potion, the divine weapon materials that could immediately increase one’s strength were more important!
Therefore, he didn’t hesitate to participate in the bidding for the Ripple Meteorite Metal.
In the end, he bought this level 5 material for 600,000 Aether Stones.
Such a large piece of Ripple Meteorite Metal could be sold for 500,000 Aether Stones on the market.
There were not many fifth-circle weapon craftsmen who could use the Ripple Meteorite Metal to make Wizard Tools. Moreover, many people were saving up their money to wait for the good stuff coming afterward, so it was not difficult for Levi to get it.
"There’s only 3.2 million left. There’s a high chance that I won’t be able to get the breakthrough potion.”
Levi did not leave. He still had some hope.
Finally, the tenth item from the end of the auction began.
"Fifth-circle breakthrough potion, Green Emperor’s Eye! It can increase the success rate of breaking through by about 16%! The starting price is 1 million Aether Stones, and each increment must not be less than 10,000 Aether Stones!”
This was only the tenth item from the end of the auction, and it was already a fifth-circle breakthrough potion. This shocked Levi. How good would the items after this be?
“1.2 million Aether Stones!” In a private room, a certain fifth-circle wizard began to bid.
This was obviously prepared for his juniors.
Levi thought for a moment and called out, “1.5 million Aether Stones!”
He had to fight for the fifth-circle breakthrough potion no matter what.
"Two million! I, Godfrey Letney, will take it. I hope everyone will give me some face.”
A wizard in another box shouted. It was actually a fifth-circle wizard from the Letney Family.
This reminded Levi of the scene when he attended the auction in the Nether Capital. At that time, it was Godfrey’s son, Jeffrey Leo, who said the same thing.
Indeed, like father, like son!
"Is your Letney Family that awesome? Why must everybody give way to you… is your skin made out of Aether Stones?” A mocking voice came from another box.
"The Red Dragon Queen, right? I’ll remember what you said today!” Godfrey said coldly.
"So be it!”
In the room, the Red Dragon Queen smiled as she hugged the Blue Dragon Lady’s waist.
The Blue Dragon Lady said softly, “There’s no need to be angry with him.”
"They are Sorrett’s masters. They are involved in everything that happened to Sorrett. I can’t take this lying down,” replied the Red Dragon Queen.
In front of the fifth-circle potion, it was obvious that the Letney Family did not have much influence.
Levi and the other fourth-circle wizard continued to bid.
In another private room, Shadow Wolf smiled.
He was the one who sold the potion. The more intense the fight was, the happier he was.
In the end, the price of the fifth-circle breakthrough potion shot through the sky.
Levi’s expression remained the same, and he gave up on bidding in the end.
"Let’s go. I can’t afford the rest of the things. If I stay here, I might get involved in the disputes later. It’s better to leave early.”
With that thought in mind, Levi went backstage and paid for his Ripple Meteorite Metal. He then quickly left the place and returned to the Nether Capital.
Because he left early, he did not encounter any robbers along the way. For some reason, he actually felt a faint sense of disappointment. He only felt that he had lost 100 million…
In the wizard tower.
"Phoenix, come and burn the iron!”
The firebird started working.
This time, Levi wanted to forge a shield and make it the Golden Snake’s divine weapon!
The next day.
Anya returned to the Nether Capital in a hurry.
"What’s wrong?” Levi asked when he saw Anya’s pale expression. “Did something happen at the Star Auction?”
When Anya saw Levi, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s good that you went back to the Nether Capital. You guessed it right. It’s suspected that someone is trying to cause trouble in this auction and create chaos. When the auction was about to end, someone peddled a [Soul Splitting Fruit] that wasn’t supposed to be part of the auction. This alarmed a few primordial soul wizards hidden in the city and caused a huge commotion. A battle between the primordial soul wizards broke out.”
"The Developing Sea Wizard who was maintaining order was severely injured, and the auction was in chaos. Many fourth-circle wizards were injured or killed, and even fifth-circle wizards were killed on the spot. The entire Sea Capital’s grand array suddenly lost its effectiveness when the riot started, and many of the culprits fled!”
"Do you think the dark wizards are up to something again? Wasn’t all of this too much of a coincidence?”
"I remember Mother saying that under normal circumstances, to avoid causing chaos among the primordial soul wizards and making it difficult to maintain order, the auction items at the Star Auction won’t involve rare primordial soul realm items. Therefore, the sudden appearance of the Soul Splitting Fruit seems to have been planned!”
After hearing this, Levi frowned. At the same time, he was glad that he had left early and had not been affected by the battle of the primordial soul wizards. That was not something he could joke around with.
"It is possible. Don’t leave the city for now. You can return to the Witch’s Family anytime you want. With your mother here, we’ll be safe.”
When he thought of Madam Triss, Levi felt a sense of security…
