Chapter 497 Five-ring Ring-Upgrading Potion
"A complete set of adult Shadow Steel Leopard's claws, with four claws in total. The claws are extremely light and tough, and are handled perfectly with no damage.
"It can be used to forge weapons with "shadow" or "light-absorbing" properties, such as daggers, daggers, and claw blades. "
"Or components used to make "stealth" or "dark vision" related magic items are also high-quality materials. "
At the central auction stage, the white-haired old man from yesterday was talking eloquently, introducing to everyone the four sharp claws placed on the top of the crystal column, which were as black as ink, with a faint light on the edges.
It’s just that while he is full of enthusiasm, the guests below are not interested.
Because today is still the "200 gold coin market", the specifications of the auction items presented are very different from yesterday.
Compared to yesterday, without the novelty bonus on the first day, the number of people attending today's auction has dropped by almost 10%.
Under such circumstances, the initial round of auctions of raw materials seemed even more boring.
Several items were successfully sold after the price was raised once, and there was even an unsold item for the first time.
Gaode didn't encounter any good things like picking up leaks today, and the raw materials and auction items didn't interest him, so he also felt a little dull.
Finally, after an hour, the round of auctioning a total of fifty raw materials ended and entered the round of finished products.
Gaode's interest suddenly became high.
Because today's finished product auction list includes his target at the beginning of this trip to the City of Black Sails: the Azuth Feather Whistle Sapling.
> It is also resistant to general moisture, moth damage and ordinary tearing, and slows down the erosion of the contents of the tube over time. It can be used to protect important documents and props. The starting price is 200 gorse coins...."
250!"
300!
Sure enough, as soon as the finished products were auctioned, the atmosphere in the venue, which had been at a low ebb, was immediately lifted, and the bidding became much more active.
This first finished auction item, which in Gaode's opinion was somewhat tasteless, actually raised the price to 300 gorse coins in a very short period of time.
After passing five or six auction items like this, the crystal column rose and fell, Gaode's eyes lit up.
In the tray on top of the crystal column, there was a sapling.
The silver-gray tree trunk is only as thick as an index finger, but as straight as a carefully forged gun.
Three or two branches protruded diagonally from the top of the main trunk, glowing with translucent ivory white, trembling gently like bowstrings.
The ends of the branches are dotted with several new feathery leaves the size of fingernails. The edges of the leaves are glowing with a light cyan halo. If you look closely, there are countless micro cyclones circulating among the leaves.
The roots of the seedlings are wrapped in a mass of gray-white wind-eroded soil, and fine roots can be vaguely seen wrapped around it like silver threads.
This is sealed using the native soil of the seedlings.
In the crystal jar on the other side of the tray, thirty-six fruits like upside-down elf horns are neatly arranged, each one only as long as a thumb.
"A second-level Azuth Feather Whistle Tree sapling and thirty-six feather fruits produced by the Azuth Feather Whistle Tree. Long-term consumption of the feather fruits can improve the physical endurance of the eater." The white-haired auctioneer's voice was filled with just the right amount of excitement, and his eyes swept across the audience.
"The starting price... is still 200 gorse coins!"
Yes, it is the Azuth Feather Whistle sapling that Gothe has been waiting for for a long time.
It's just that for him, the Azuth Feather Whistle Sapling is a treasure, and it's worth his efforts, traveling around the northern border and the gorse, and risking all kinds of risks to come to the City of Black Sails.
But to others, this is just an ordinary second-order magic tree sapling.
Perhaps some potion masters or magic planters will be interested in it, but that's all, and it cannot change the fact that it is only a second-level magic sapling.
Furthermore, if it had not been cultivated into a seedling, it would not even be qualified to be put on the table for auction.
After all, the threshold for the first three days of the All Souls' Day auction is 200 gorse coins.
Normally, the market price of second-level magic tree species is between 10-30 gorse coins, which is much lower than other extraordinary items of the same level.
The reason is also very simple. It is just a seed, not even a magic sapling.
And if you want to grow the seeds, you need to pay a lot of time and money, and you must also master relevant knowledge.
What’s more, the Azuth Feather Whistle tree species is its core, which means that as long as you have a mature Azuth Feather Whistle tree, you can get dozens of Azuth Feather Whistle tree species every year.
Things that are scarce are more expensive. In this case, the Azuth Feather Whistle tree species is even cheaper.
In addition, as a magic tree that produces fruit, the fruit itself is the bulk of the economic value of the Azuth Feather Whistle Tree, and the fruit core can only be regarded as an additional addition.
The price of a successfully cultivated Azuth Whistle Sapling will be much higher than that of seeds, and should reach 30-40 Plantagenet Coins.
But obviously, even if it has grown into a seedling, its value is still low, and it still needs to be matched with a complete set of corresponding fruits to be worthy of the quality of the Easter Day auction.
More importantly, the bidder did not come with the corresponding Azuth Feather Whistle Tree cultivation guide, which would also greatly reduce everyone's enthusiasm for bidding.
If there is a cultivation strategy, even a mage who is not familiar with magic plant science may be tempted to buy it and give it a try if he has plenty of money. Maybe it will actually work, right?
「300!」
Gaode could not be chirped by others. He had a clear goal and pressed the price increase button next to his seat without hesitation as soon as the shooting started.
"The guest in Seat 91 bid 300 gorse coins!"
Out of caution, Gaode did not choose to sit in Seat 66 yesterday, but changed to Seat 91.
350!
The number representing the current bid on the light screen jumped.
Gaode's eyes flashed slightly.
Azuth's Feather Whistle Sapling is of strategic significance to the North, so he raised the budget very high, and the bidding was completely within the acceptable range.
To show that he was determined to win, Gothe pressed the increase button again the moment the numbers on the light screen jumped, before the auctioneer even had time to speak.
450!
"350...The guest in Seat 91 bid 450 Plantagenet coins!"
Sure enough, Gothe's move, coupled with the price of 450 Plantagenet coins, has already exceeded the valuation of many people,
And he did not encounter the so-called malicious increase in price.
After the auctioneer shouted three times, Gothe got his wish and took down the Azuth Feather Whistle sapling and the thirty-six feather fruits.
It was still like yesterday, the pace was fast, the next lot was already on the market, and the attendant from the auction house quickly came to Gothe with the packaged Azus Feather Whistle Sapling and thirty-six Feather Fruits.
After quickly checking the items, the money and goods were cleared.
Although I thought I was sure of it before I came here, it was only when the Azuth Feather Whistle sapling fell into my hands that Gothe finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The initial goal has been achieved.
But he still sat in the auction hall and watched the entire auction.
First, he was preparing the way for the Black Wing Gang's relics later, and first created a persona who was very interested in the auction items. The other was to see if there were any treasures that he could use or be interested in.
He is actually quite well off now. The 7,500 gorse coins he gained from cheating and cheating directly made Gaode fatter. Even after deducting the expenses of these two days, he still has nearly 9,000 gorse coins on hand.
This is even enough for him to purchase one or two fourth-level extraordinary items in full.
It is a pity that the 200 gold coin auction items are still too low-grade for him.
So after sitting there for six or seven hours, I still couldn't find another lot worth selling.
Gothe was not disappointed. He was already satisfied when he successfully obtained the Azuth Feather Whistle Sapling. Everything else was just an added bonus. He was naturally happy if he had it, but it was normal if he didn't have it.
As the last lot of today's auction ended, the white-haired auctioneer left the auction, Gao De also got up and Shi Shiran left, and returned to the hotel in Xiacheng District with Lan Wen.
After returning to his room, the first thing Gothe did was to take out the Bone-Eating Vine Magic Crystal.
【Your body continues to be attacked and tempered by toxin energy, and its immune metabolism ability to various toxins is gradually improved. Your immunity to toxins is increased by 107%, and the ability of your body organs to metabolize and excrete various toxins is increased by 110.1%.
After a full night's rest last night, the toxin energy in his body has actually been metabolized, and there is not much left.
During this seven or eight-hour auction, metabolism was also continuing.
By this time, the remaining toxin energy has been completely metabolized, and the body has returned to a flawless state.
Striking while the iron is hot, Gaode immediately held the magic crystal tightly in his hands, closed his eyes, and began the second round of energy absorption and refining.
On the third day of the auction, Gaode still participated in the entire process.
I just came here with the mentality of joining in the fun, but I got an unexpected reward. I bought a third-level "Thorn Ironwood" magic tree species that a customer just sent for auction yesterday.
Thorn Ironwood is a very special magic plant. Its wood is as hard as iron and is naturally covered with sharp thorns. It is a top-grade natural hardwood and is also an ideal material for building fortifications.
But other than that, it has no other economic value.
So generally only certain forces or even urban countries will have demand for thorn ironwood, but there are exceptions - some mages will also consider using thorn ironwood when building a mage tower.
Unlike the Azuth Whistle Tree, which can produce dozens or hundreds of tree seeds in a year, this is a kind of magic tree that is more demanding in reproduction.
It needs the tree to be at least two hundred years old before it will grow a few scattered seeds every year.
· Correspondingly, the price of it is relatively high as it is a tree species. In addition, it is a third-level tree, so it entered the auction "single-handedly".
Whether it is to buy it to build the northern territory, to use it as a reserve of project materials, or to give birth to Yugath Shira, Gothe, who is currently considered to be wealthy, has no reason to miss this tree species.
As a result, he didn't spend much money. He only increased the price once and got this tree species for 250 gorse coins.
But this is Gaode’s only gain on the third day.
His mentality is quite good, and he maintains a record of taking at least one shot a day, which can be considered a stable character.
And after today, the main event of the Easter Auction is about to come.
On the fourth day, when Gothe appeared in the Blue Flame Auction House on time again, he obviously felt that the atmosphere had become different.
First of all, compared with the five or six hundred empty seats in the previous three days, less than 10% of the seats in the entire auction hall were empty today.
In addition, it is obvious that there are many more mages in the field who look very oppressive.
For many people, today is the real first day of the Autumn Autumn Auctions.
As soon as the auction started, Gaode discovered that even the auctioneer in charge of the auction had been changed.
From the white-haired old man in the previous three days to a beautiful woman with a hot figure.
The beautiful woman is hot and hot, but she is not a vase. She exudes a powerful aura and should be a mage with extraordinary strength.
After she walked onto the auction stage, she glanced at the entire audience before smiling slightly, "Dear guests, thank you for coming all the way. I am Midi, and I will host all the auctions for the next four days. I have been in charge of hosting the Anning Day auction for more than 20 years. I think there should be many regular customers here who know me or have even dealt with me."
「我就不多说废话了，不过在拍卖会开始之前，还要先给大家透露一个信息，本年安灵节拍卖会最后一个场次中，将会有五环升环魔药拍卖。
此外，本次压轴拍卖物的价值还将胜过去年的压轴拍卖品，有意者这几天可要抓紧时间筹款..：..：」她呵呵一笑，然后拍了拍手。
The crystal pillar rises slowly.
The first lot is about to appear.
Gothe's mind was distracted by Midi's words.
Five-ring magic potion to increase the ring!
He is only at the second level now, so he definitely doesn’t need this thing yet, but... Sunaifa can use it!
After Sunaifa also practiced the "Aoki Immortality Sutra", because the sacred object of the contract was the sixth-level ice jade sycamore, and the "Secret Legend of Zhenbing" was already at the fourth-level level, he became rich first and then got richer, so the progress of the "Aoki Immortality Sutra" can be said to be very fast.
Before the Fifth Ring, due to the foundation of "The Secret of the Ice", Sunaifa's magic star sea had already been opened up, and his mental power had already met the requirements.
Hence, there is no bottleneck for her in the practice of "Aoki Immortality Sutra". Once her magic power reaches the level, she will naturally succeed in rising to a higher level.
But when it comes time to advance to the fifth ring, there is no "big brother" like "The Secret of Ice" to guide you, so you have to follow a step-by-step three-step process to advance to the next level.
In this case, no matter how talented Sunaifa is, a magic potion for increasing the level is still necessary for safety.
After all, with Gaode's background, he prepared top-notch level-enhancing potions to assist in level-up when he was promoted to the second level.
There is no need to act this time... I really want the magic potion for increasing the ring, but I really don’t have enough money. My true feelings can’t be more pure.::::. Gaode secretly thought in his heart.
"Today's first auction item, Dragon Whale Essence, after taking it, ordinary people can extend their lifespan by thirty years, and it is also effective for mages. Of course, the higher the level of the mage, the worse the life extension effect, but even a fifth-ring mage can extend his life by three years!" Midi smiled and raised the transparent vial on the tray, showing it to everyone, her red lips parted lightly, and she made a seductive sound.
"Starting price, 2,000 gorse coins!"
In a transparent vial, there is a drop of amber-like liquid.
A life-extending treasure!
For Gothe, twenty or thirty years of life is not worth mentioning:
He is only 16 years old now, but his upper limit of life span is as high as 830 years, and he has not even used up the fraction.
But after all, his situation is only a very rare exception and cannot be used as a reference.
The real situation is that as long as any item is paired with the word "life extension", its value will be doubled.
In Gothe's eyes, the five-ring mage's lifespan is as high as 975 years. After living for such a long time, living for another three years does not seem to be of much significance.
But this is just because he is young and does not understand that for people who are about to die, let alone three years, even if they live for one more month, they are willing to pay a huge price for it.
Hence, the appearance of Dragon Whale Essence immediately set off a bidding frenzy in the auction hall, completely igniting the atmosphere.
