This time in the auction, Chu Yuan did not sit in the VIP box but in the auction room of the Qiankun Business Association, surrounded by a few masters.
Such treatment was something other empires wouldn't even dare to dream of.
For the Qiankun Business Association, Chu Yuan was not just a simple customer. He was the largest supplier of Spirit Rice, Divine Elixir, and even the several vials of mid-level Healing Potion, without which this auction would not have made the Infinite Trade Association give up hosting an auction altogether.
The Qiankun Business Association dared not neglect such a lucrative resource.
The relationship between them was more like an alliance.
Chu Yuan utilized the channels of the Qiankun Business Association, while the Qiankun Business Association needed his goods.
"The effect of the mid-level Healing Potion is that any kind of injury can be instantly healed when consumed by someone in the Divine Realm. As to its authenticity, I, the Great Master, won't say much. Different people will have different views. The starting bid is a million Spirit Stones. The auction for Healing Potion only accepts Spirit Stones, not ordinary stones."
Fa Crystals are ordinary stones.
Ten thousand Fa Crystals could only get one Spirit Stone.
A starting bid of a million Spirit Stones is equal to a hundred billion Fa Crystals.
"What? They don't want Fa Crystals? This time I prepared so many Fa Crystals because I wanted to bid for the Healing Potion. They actually don't want it? Damn it, Spirit Stones, such a precious item, are used for cultivation above God-level, most of the Spirit Stone mines in the Hanging Sky Region are under the control of the four-star imperial dynasty."
Some heard that the Qiankun Business Association only wanted Spirit Stones and not Fa Crystals, the color of their faces changed instantly. Just this one condition alone excluded more than 90% of the people from the auction.
"If what the Qiankun Business Association claims is true, and it really does have such effects, a million Spirit Stones is not expensive. After all, when cultivation reaches the Divine Realm, life can't be measured with just some Spirit Stones. I, the Emperor, trust in the credibility of the Qiankun Business Association."
An old voice came from a box, "I, the Emperor, am willing to spend ten million Spirit Stones for this vial of mid-level Healing Potion."
"Ten million Spirit Stones!"
The crowd was shocked upon hearing it.
Ten million Spirit Stones is equivalent to a hundred billion Fa Crystals, some large Fa Crystal mines only have a hundred billion.
"Twenty million Spirit Stones."
Another offer came from a powerhouse from the four-star imperial dynasty.
No one has ever heard of a potion having such an effect before, but the reputation of the Qiankun Business Association was so well-known that many were willing to believe in them.
"One hundred million Spirit Stones."
The old voice didn't even think twice.
"The mid-level Healing Potion is indeed effective. Even the severe injury of the Emperor of Dachang has been restored, and his cultivation strength is stronger than before, providing hope for future breakthrough to the God Position. Spending one hundred million Spirit Stones isn't too much, rather, it's a huge bargain."
"Sky! Such a miraculous potion, who ever owns one, gets a second life!"
"The Qiankun Business Association truly did not deceive us!"
.....
The entire auction house was in an uproar.
Many people came here just to gawk at the spectacle, thinking that even if the Healing Potion had some efficacy, it would not show immediate effect. But the change in the Emperor of Dachang completely dispelled their doubts.
The Qiankun Business Association, this time, has pulled a big move.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, there will be two more vials of the Healing Potion in this auction, and the auction of the other treasures will start now. We have prepared an abundance of Divine Elixirs."
Sikong Tu's face held a smile, yet he was laughing madly inside.
Although they didn't take any commissions for the Healing Potion, they had made a name for themselves and completely toppled the Infinite Trade Association.
The word "reputation" was a huge profit in and of itself.
The people from the Infinite Trade Association had serious expressions on their faces. If it hadn't been for Elder Chen and his idiots, the right to auction the Healing Potion would be theirs.
The Great Master wished he could rub Elder Chen's face fiercely on the ground.
The second Healing Potion was auctioned off in the middle of the auction for a whopping price of five hundred million Spirit Stones, and this precisely showed Sikong Tu's brilliance. It kept the momentum of the auction high.
The third Healing Potion was placed at the very end and was bought by the Hanging Sky Dynasty for one billion Spirit Stones.
In this auction, Chu Yuan received a total of 1.6 billion Spirit Stones from the three Healing Potion, and he provided a large number of Divine Elixirs to the Qiankun Business Association, earning him another few hundred million Spirit Stones.
One could say, he was the biggest winner this time around.
Of course, the Qiankun Business Association didn't lose either. The treasures they had meticulously prepared for hundreds of years were sold at a high price, they had completely taken over the business from the Infinite Trade Association, and also received a large number of orders.
Both sides benefited from the deal.
The Qiankun Business Association and Chu Yuan accomplished their goals.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, our association may hold another auction before the opening of the Hanging Sky Forbidden Territory, but the auction date is not determined yet."
At the end of the auction, Sikong Tu dropped a sentence that nearly made the Infinite Trade Association faint.
