345 Warning
The flower looked like a yellow tulip. But Alex could see the boundless energy from a rank 5 medicinal herb. Of course, Alex could also see the concentrated energy inside that tulip. It was the essence of the tulip, the one that he wanted the most to enhance his eyes.
But, as Matthew's said, the tulip was also one of the ingredients for the Mid 5th rank Pill, Celestial Void Pill. There were a few ingredients to change the tulip's effect from enhancing eyes to enhancing one's talent.
However, Alex was a Pure Fire Element cultivator. And as long as one's born with Pure Element, they already had the best talent humanities could hope for. After all, the Pure Element itself was the biggest cheat they could have.
"Start!"
"1, 100, 000!"
"1, 200, 000!"
"2, 000, 000!"
Alex was wondering how high the price for this flower would be.
"5, 000, 000 Spirit Stones!"
"7, 000, 000!"
Alex was surprised to see a leap of two million Spirit Stones. When Alex tried to see who it was, it turned out to be one of the people in the VVIP room.
"Evelyn, how many people have this room other than myself."
"There is only one... Don't tell me, big brother..." Evelyn immediately recognized why Alex asked. After all, Alex said he wanted to have two items in this auction. But this item was the second from the last. Alex had yet to bid an item in this auction.
In other words, he wanted this flower and the box. But the one in the other VVIP room also wanted it. However, there was only one group that had a VVIP room in this auction beside Alex. It was the Crown Prince's group.
The crown prince came with the people from Mount Hua Sect. So, the one who wanted this flower was the Mount Hua Sect. Evelyn immediately got worried since there would be a clash. Even though she had warned him, it seemed Alex did not care about that, or maybe he simply was not afraid.
"Big brother Alex... I... maybe..." Evelyn did not know how to explain. After all, if Alex became the enemy of Thiveapia Kingdom, he indirectly put her in a hard situation. She did not know whether she would side with Alex or her kingdom.
"I need that one, " Alex said sternly.
"Fufu... How about we let them take it and kill them somewhere. We can take the flower without spending any money. I should be able to handle that old man. And you can kill the crown prince and the other guy. As long as no one knows, it will be fine. Fufu..." Anna said darkly.
"!!!" Evelyn felt a chill when Anna said that.
"Don't joke around, " Alex said casually.
Evelyn was surprised once again. She did not know why, but she felt relieved when she heard Alex say that. She thought Alex wanted to kill them.
"We are not thieves. Although I don't mind killing them, I don't want to justify stealing. If someone wants to steal my stuff, I will kill them. But it does not mean it is alright if I steal what they got with money. As long as I can buy it through money, I would rather not steal. 𝙛𝚛𝘦ewe𝗯𝘯oѵ𝚎𝗹 - 🅽🅽novel
"If I did not get this flower, then it is simply I am not fated with it. Even though I know it will be such a shame since the effect is really beneficial to me, I won't steal just because of that. Of course, it will only happen if they have more money than me." Alex said.
"Going Once!"
"Going Twice!"
"8, 000, 000!" There was suddenly a voice that could stop the crown prince from getting it. It was Alex.
The crown prince in the other VVIP room was startled when he heard that. He thought there was no person that wanted to offend him in this kingdom. When he tried to see who it was, it turned out to be the person that Evelyn brought.
"9, 000, 000! Friend, our Mount Hua Sect wants this medicinal herb. Please give us some face." The young man beside the crown prince finally said.
Alex ignored him and said, "10, 000, 000!"
The young man was bewildered. To think this person dared to not give them face, and he even said 'Mount Hua Sect' not his identity alone. Even the elder behind them was startled.
"11, 000, 000!"
"12, 000, 000!"
"13, 000, 000!"
The competition was intense. All the people in the auction also knew that the person who wanted this was Mount Hua Sect. As soon as the Mount Hua Sect joined the bid, they did not dare to raise the bet again. But Alex truly dared to raise the bid.
"14, 000, 000!"
"20, 000, 000!" The young man finally said. The old man frowned. Although they did not mind spending this much money, they only brought another twenty million in the auction. If they spent it all on this item, they might not be able to get the last box.
And also, the price was already much higher than it was supposed to. Of course, unlike them, Alex never cared about the price. It was for his Spirit Eyes, and he felt as long as the item was beneficial for him, it was worth any amount of money.
However, Alex also frowned when it arrived at this step. He was not worried about how much he spent, but he worried about the last item. He feared that he would not have enough money to compete for the last item.
Alex immediately thought something. He immediately checked his gacha tickets.
[Gacha Ticket x1121
Premium Ticket x0
Dart x0
Summoning Ticket x0
Summoning Coin x0]
At first, he wanted to exchange his Gacha Tickets to Premium Tickets, but it seemed he could not."System, use all my Gacha Tickets!"
[Processing]
[Leve Grass (C) x1]
[Sky Stamping Hammer (R) x1]
....
...
..
[Summoning Coin (R) x5]
Alex used his gacha ticket only for the weapons. Since he was in the Martial Lord stage, he would be able to get many rank 4 weapons. He would scrap them together with the rank 2 and rank 3 weapons he had obtained from the system.
If it were not enough, Alex would then sell the relics that Mithra gave him. It was true that when he arrived in this world, he wanted to sell every weapon except his swords and spears. After all, he had no use for bows, hammers, axes, and others.
But, if he tried to sell them in bulk, he would stand out, and it might raise some suspicions. Back then, he did not have strength or status to fight back. However, the current him was a Martial Lord, and he also had some status. So, since he needed money today, this would be the perfect time to rid all of them.
"Going Once!"
"Going Twice!"
Jack and the crown prince were smiling since they thought Alex could not win them with their wealth. The old man behind them was also ready to make a move since Alex never gave them any face. So, if Alex raised the bid once again, he would try to scare him.
He remembered that the strongest one was the 6-Star Martial Lord woman behind Alex. So, if he released his strength a little bit, they would be scared.
"21, 000, 000!" Alex stopped them from winning once again.
Alex immediately poured every weapon except his spear and sword from his inventory to the ground before storing it in a space ring. Evelyn was shocked when she saw all of those weapons. She could see bows, axes, hammers, and so on. She was wondering how many weapons Alex had.
"Evelyn, can we postpone the auction for a while?" Alex asked. Since he was not familiar with the auction, he needed to ask first. Back on Earth, he remembered from somewhere that someone with 'a big status' could postpone the auction for a little bit.
"Yes. We can. But only after this item sold." Evelyn nodded. She was sweating this whole time as Alex fearlessly challenged the Mount Hua Sect. She even thought this might be his usual way.
"That's good. Try to postpone as long as you can later." Alex said.
Alex tossed two Space Rings to Anna.
"Sell all of them in the Forging Master Guild in this city. You can release your strength to speed up the process." Alex said.
"Fufu, Alright. You know... you should suddenly bid to 25 million Spirit Stones to shut them up. It even makes you cooler that way." Anna teased him.
"I am here to win the item, not to flaunt my wealth, " Alex replied.
"Fufu... I am just kidding. I will come back as soon as possible." Anna said, then disappeared.
But at this time, the old man from the other room was angered. He could not swallow all of this insult. Even though this was an indirect insult, it could be implied that the Mount Hua Sect was easy to bully by a no-name. After all, Alex was still a no-name with his mask on. Evelyn was only stopping them from trying to pry his information.
The old man suddenly released a fifty meter Sword Domain. He shouted, "You... Do you think our Mount Hua Sect is good to bully?"
"Fifty meters..."
"As expected of the third elder of Mount Hua Sect."
"He was famous throughout the continent. Not only was he one of the peak 4th rank alchemist, and his sword technique was also unparalleled."
"Yeah, in fact, I came to this auction to see the senior. Only watching this is truly worth it."
The others thought Alex was done for. But suddenly, there was another Sword Domain that appeared in the hall. And the domain was a 55 meters domain. It was five meters wider than the old man's. The audiences were shocked.
"And... just because of your Mount Hua Sect, do you think I am easy to bully? I also want this flower. This is an auction. We compete with money, not strength." Alex said as he released his sword domain.
"What!"
"55 meters domain?"
"Impossible!"
"Is he stronger than the third elder of Mount Hua Sect?"
"I can't sense his cultivation. But with this domain alone, I think he is stronger than Elder Oliver!"
Finally, the third domain appeared in the hall. It turned out to be Matthew's Domain. He released his 45 meters Spear Domain to stop both Alex and Elder Oliver. He was leading the auction because of this. He was afraid that both of them tried to do something like this. So, the only one who could stop them was him.
"It is as he said. This is an Auction where we compete with our wealth, not our strength. I hope Elder Oliver could understand the rules of our Auction House. It is for both of the Thiveapia Kingdom and Mount Hua Sect." Matthew said.
"He was aware of the alliance between their kingdom and Mount Hua Sect. But if he let Oliver do everything he wanted in this auction house. It would appear that their Kingdom feared the Mount Hua Sect, and they wanted to become a vassal of Mount Hua Sect, rather than an Ally.
This was humiliating for them. After all, an Ally meant equal. That was the reason why he said it was for both of them.
Oliver had no choice other than taking back his domain. He was also startled to see this masked man had a wider domain than him. In other words, he might be stronger than him. He did not know what trick Alex used to his cultivation. But if he knew Alex's real cultivation, he might even attack him at once.
It was the same for Jake and the crown prince. They never thought that this masked man had a wider domain than the third elder.
Jack wanted to raise the bid once again. But Oliver stopped him.
"Father, are we going to swallow this insult?"
"Of course not. Since he is going to buy it for us, then we will gratefully accept it later. Of course, along with his corpse!" Oliver said coldly.
