My Goddess is Good at Pretending-Chapter 56 Bid War
56 Bid War
"You also want that girl too?" Yuuki closed one eye, feeling a little doubtful.
"Why does that sound a bit wrong? Saintess Meiying is good and has a bright future, unlike those greedy people with bleak insight." Ely shook her head and watched the auction event.
It has reached the second half, and the precious items have begun to be taken out one by one.
The last jackpots would be auctioned off soon, and she was looking forward to making a few sparks.
"..." Yuuki rolled her eyes.
"That holy saintess is another chess piece for our master grand game. She may be of use to our master's other identity."
"Mm, our master is a shrine priestess too."
"Anyway, Shui Meiying is no longer an enemy then. Let's look forward to seeing her future performance."
Ely's three disciples had a brief secret discussion as if they fully understood their master's intentions.
The auction kept going.
The twenty-eight items Ely put into this auction house livened up the atmosphere and added some pocket money.
Spirit stones are classified into ten tiers, with tier 1 as the highest. Each tier was ten times more valuable than the previous tier.
For example, the tier 9 spirit stone has ten times more value than tier 10. Ten kilograms of tier 10 spirit stones are usually worth one kilogram of tier 9 spirit stones.
However, it could also depend on the market situation. Sometimes, stocks were scarce, and prices skyrocketed. There were also high-tier spirit stones that money couldn't buy.
The jackpot has yet to come out, and it was estimated that Ely could bring eight kilograms of tier 3 spirit stones home.
If it was converted into the world's universal currency... Ely's brain stopped working to calculate it.
She didn't even know the actual value of money. She only knew about the spirit stone, the valued currency for anything related to magic and cultivation.
Her organization and disciples were prosperous, and she rarely bought anything with her money. They paid everything for her.
Metals, minerals, and spirit stones were precious. Owning several mines was the same as having great wealth for multiple generations. Ely has never even tried to calculate her overall wealth. Not to mention the Guardian of Dream's total assets.
She needed to supply much spiritual energy for more than two hundred top-tier holy artifacts or above. There were also 154 talented disciples to feed. Because of that, she always craved more resources because the total need was enormous.
"Hm-mm~" Ely waited until the final item was brought to the stage. It was two Super-tier healing potions that would be auctioned separately.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have reached the event's peak, and the final item has finally arrived on the stage. We have two Super-tier healing potions concocted by an S-Rank pristine alchemist!
Whether lifting a curse, curing sickness, returning one to full health, opening meridians, repairing broken dantian, or even increasing one's lifespan! Everything can be achieved with just this potion! We will start the auction per bottle, and the opening price is one kilogram of tier 7 spirit stones."
The auctioneer announced the final items excitedly.
The bidders soon placed their bids until the price immediately soared to ten kilograms of tier 4 spirit stones!
"11 kilograms of tier 4." An old man's voice came from VIP 4 room raising their bid.
"11.1 kilograms of tier 4." A lady's voice sounded from the VIP 3 room.
"12 kilograms of tier 4!"
"12.1 kilograms of tier 4."
The old man and young lady competed as they would never back down.
"6 kilograms of tier 3!"
"6.1 kilograms of tier 3."
The competition soon left only those two people alone. The rest of the people watched the two opposing factions with great interest.
"9 kilograms of tier 3! Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, please give me some face. I need that healing potion to treat my nephew's injury." The old man from VIP 4 room tried to intimidate the others.
"9.1 kilograms of tier 3. I don't know who you are, and I don't care about your business. If you have no money, then please go home, old thing. Also, we are not Frozen Cloud's people." The lady from VIP 3 room responded casually as if she would compete to the end.
"Damn, we are from the Tiangong Sacred Land. State your name, you arrogant btch!" The other people from VIP 4 room growled in annoyance.
"So, you are from that sacred land. I thought who you were. So that old panda is with you? If you want to get that healing potion to treat that nephew of yours, then sacrifice some money. If not, please compete in the second potion. We only need one. 11 kilograms of tier 3." The lady from VIP 3 room raised her own bid.
It was of enormous value because tier 3 spirit stone was rare even for the holy land. The people from Tiangong Sacred Land decided to withdraw from this bidding war. They would only suffer a loss if they tried challenging the super-rich lady in the next room.
They didn't know that lady's identity, but they had planned to discover that presumptuous woman who belittled their sacred land.
"Oh, la-la. Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, Tiangong Sacred Land, and now this mysterious lady from an unknown background. She dares to openly offend Tiangong Sacred Land. Isn't she afraid of their revenge?"
"You fool, since there are representatives from two holy lands here, do you think that lady as stupid as you? She might also come from another sacred land."
"Yeah, look at how she is so relaxed to mention that powerful powerhouse like nothing noteworthy. She is obviously also strong and has a profound background."
"So, nobody wants to place their bid?"
"I'm not insane enough to compete at these super high numbers. I don't even know if I can have ten kilograms of tier 3 spirit stones in my lifetime..."
"Even if there is money, it would be unwise to offend the holy land."
The audience muttered to one another. They wondered about the identity of the mysterious lady, but the first potion would definitely fall into her hands.
At that eye-opener auction, a particular young hero felt depressed. He thought he was rich, a young multi-millionaire. Unfortunately, his money was only worth a few grams of tier 5 spirit stones...
The auctioneer then repeated the highest bid in case anyone would raise the price, but there was no more. Therefore, the mysterious lady in VIP 3 room won the first Super-tier healing potion.
The item was sent directly to the VIP 3 room in front of everyone and placed into a particular slot under the glass wall.
When the auctioneer announced the last Super-tier healing potion, people from the VIP 4 room set their starting price at 9 kilograms of tier 3 power spirit stones right away.
"10 kilograms of tier 3." Uriel placed a higher bid. She didn't want those brutes to buy her master's potion at such a low price. At the very least, she had to make them bleed a little.
"Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace!" Fiery Bear jerked a fury from his room.
"You ran out of money? You need to contact your boss for more pocket money then. Also, Frozen Cloud's people have long since retreated from the competition. They don't have the money to bid for more items." Uriel responded casually, but she smiled sweetly at her master.
"..." Ely had nothing to say. Her disciple was playful, but that was fine since a mess would ensue after this.
"I don't know who you are and what your goals are. However, my sacred land will not let you go! 11 kilograms of tier 3." Fiery Bear was furious. Today, many people got on his nerve.
"Tiangong Sacred Land is not the only holy land here. 12 kilograms of tier 3." Uriel provoked more.
A few moments later, she managed to provoke the Tiangong Sacred Land into placing a bid for one Super-tier healing potion at 15 kilograms of tier 3 spirit stones. She didn't put in any bid because her master stopped her.
"Stop, that's their limit." Ely pinched Uriel's cheek as she saw a thick, desperate, malicious aura from the VIP 4 room.
"Hehe, they are bleeding, and their pouches are dying there~" Jophiel gave a thumbs up to her senior sister.
"..." The auction hall was silent momentarily because the VIP 11 room no longer tried to compete.
Fiery Bear also broke out in cold sweat because his people remaining spirit stones accumulated, including his uncle's.
Even though they won, they immediately fell into poverty with no spirit stones left.
"That girl set you up." Great Elder Grieved Panda stroked his beard.
"Damn. Find out who's in VIP 3 room and VIP 11 room too." Fiery Bear slammed his fist into the table.
With that, the last healing potion fell into the hands of the Tiangong Sacred Land.
Fiery Bear immediately drank that healing potion and instantly felt its magical effects. 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚
*Boom!*
"Argh, I can feel it. My dantian is repaired, and my 720 meridians are all open and cleaned! I am back in my prime! I can definitely fight that cold vixen a thousand rounds without getting tired. Hahaha!" Fiery Bear grasped his fist as he laughed out loud. The mic was still on, and everyone could hear it.
His 9th Rank aura was burning with passion as if he couldn't wait to catch those fox sisters and pound them on his bed.
"Interesting; who is in the VIP 11 room?" The lady in a majestic crimson robe glanced at her attendant.
"We don't have a clue, my lady. They put up an anti-monitoring barrier. However, I suspect the fox sisters are there." The attendant tried to use her magical vision, but it was no use.
"Is it? To think that Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace has declined in recent years and can no longer compete with other holy lands. They even abandoned their fox elder..." The crimson lady rested her cheek on her hand.
"What are we going to do next, my lady? Do you also want to catch the fox sisters too?"
"Hmm, how about that? I'm still wondering. I heard that one of them was a former Frozen Cloud elder. She offended the Tiangong Sacred Land and was kicked out. Celestial Fox. What a domineering name."
"She is a Transcending Tribulation Realm expert, my lady. One of the powerhouses that turned the northern mountains upside down for some mysterious reason five years ago."
"Oh, the battle between Demi-God will be interesting. However, the snow fox may suffer because her opponents are hundreds of experts targeting her body... Wait, there are two of them, right? What's her identity?"
"No information, but they are not as simple as they seem, my lady. You are also a Transcending Tribulation Realm expert, but please don't involve yourself in unnecessary chaos. Your father will be angry later."
"You can't control me for what I'm going to do, my little maid. Not you, not my parent, and no one else but me~"
The crimson lady stroked her maid's chin with a teasing smile.
After that, they left their room because they knew an interesting event would happen as soon as people left this auction house. Many people gathered to catch the fox sisters, and she had to watch it.
The money you make is a symbol of the value you create ^^
