Death… And Me Chapter 640 - Magma Flower

Chapter 640 - Magma Flower

Frandin immediately pressed a small formation in front of him, indicating that he wanted to bid. Because the chambers were private, this thing was made to keep their ident.i.ties hidden.

"4000!"

Frandin already jumped to that value, knowing that it would become higher soon. Sure enough, the other people who were interested also jumped right in.

"4500!"

"5500!"

"7000!"

"8500!"

"10000!"

Rean narrowed his eyes after seeing this. In just a few seconds, the bidding war had already jumped to over 10000 Rank Two Spirit Stones. That was already the price of two of the Earth High-Level weapons he put for auction. Not to mention that it didn't seem to be slowing down.

"11000!"

"12000!"

"13500!"

"14000!"

Frandin looked at the formation in front of him, but he was hesitating to press it. He understood that it was getting way too expensive.

"Sigh... forget it. It's not worth this much Spirit Stones."

However, as soon as he said that, Rean pressed the formation for him.

"20000!"

Frandin and Agis were taken aback. They didn't expect Rean to do such a thing.

"Hahaha! If I told you to bid, then bid. So what if we use part of the Spirit Stones we got? I can get more Spirit Stones, so don't worry. Besides, this is still not even half of what we can make today."

Frandin couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Thanks..."

The moment the 20000 Spirit Stone bid came out, the auction house went silent. It was obvious that whoever was inside that chamber wanted to have this Imperial Blood. However, not everyone was afraid.

"21000!"

Frandin immediately replied, though.

"22000!"

"23000!"

"24000!"

Inside another private chamber, a man narrowed his eyes as he looked in the direction of Rean's group. Well, he could only see the room.

"Who's the guy that's residing there?"

The subordinate on his side shook his head, replying.

"I don't know. Should I investigate?"

"No. Our main objective isn't the Imperial Blood, so let's focus."

Suddenly, a young man beside him said.

"Father, you need to get that drop for me. It isn't much, but we don't know when another one will appear for sale."

The old man narrowed his eyes as he soon ordered.

"Offer 30000. If the guy there bids anything higher, then give up. We need money for that item."

His son's eyes lit up as he immediately put up the bid. He doubted Frandin's group would go that far. After all, the drop of Imperial Blood definitely wasn't worth that much.

"30000!"

*wow!*

Immediately, everyone looked at the bid panel. This turned out to be a lot more exciting than they thought.

However, they had underestimated Rean's group. Sure, the drop of Imperial Bloodline wasn't worth that much... for Zasfins of this city's level. Frandin came from a very low n.o.bility rank. For him, that drop was worth every single stone since it would largely boost his Soul Power cultivation speed. He guessed that his Soul Cultivation speed would go up by at least 10% after he finished absorbing it. That was really impressive.

Once again, the lower one's bloodline level was, the higher the effect of the blood.

"31000!"

The young man in the other chamber immediately raged. Following that, his voice stormed into the auction house.

"Who the h.e.l.l are you? Are you doing it on purpose? I don't know why you're doing it, but you better retract your offer."

Frandin was taken aback, but he immediately replied right after.

"Who am I doesn't matter. Also, I don't even know who you are, so why would I target you? If I'm bidding for this drop of Imperial Blood, that's because I need it. Now shut up and place your bid. If you don't, then stay quiet and don't bother everyone else."

"You!"

"Silence!"

All of a sudden, the host shouted in the direction of the young man's room.

"Everyone has the right to bid for whatever they want. If you continue to cause problems, I'll send you out of the auction. Don't forget, this is the Imperial Auction House."

The young man's father narrowed his eyes as he looked at him, ordering the young man.

"Maluco, sit down."

Maluco gritted his teeth but followed his father's orders. It turns out that this was the same guy who was accused of destroying the altar in that Bloodline Trial. Of course, it was found later that he had nothing to do with it. Though, because of the punishment, he was injured quite badly. This drop of Imperial Blood would be perfect since it would help him recover from his injuries, especially the damage in his Soul Power.

On the stage, the host continued the auction.

"31000 Rank Two Spirit Stones! Does anyone have a higher bid?"

The auction house was silent. Sure enough, no one thought of the drop as much as that, especially since it came from a low-level member of the Imperial Family.

"Sold to the guests in private chamber 304. Now, for our next item..."

Frandin couldn't help but feel excited. He completely ignored the auction as he waited for the Imperial Blood to be delivered. A few minutes later, a female Zasfin came into the chamber.

"Here is your drop of Imperial Bloodline, little friend. As mentioned before, it will be discounted from the total amount of Spirit Stones you earn in this auction."

Frandin nodded as he responded.

"Very well. You can leave now."

The female Zasfin nodded before retreating.

"Alright, I know you're excited. Though, remember that this is not the right time to absorb it."

Rean then took the bottle and sent it into the Dimensional Realm.

"Sigh... fine. I'll wait."

Soon, all of Rean's weapons were sold out, none of them going for less than 5000 Rank Two Spirit Stones. Then again, that made Rean very aware of the difference between this and his previous world. If his weapons were sold there, those weapons of his would go for many more and higher-rank Spirit Stones. That just showed how much more difficult it is for Spirit Stones to appear on this planet.

Nonetheless, all of Rean's weapons gave him a profit of over 70000 Rank Two Spirit Stones, even when factoring in that 30% of the auction house. Taking out the 31000 from the Imperial Bloodline drop, Rean still had more than 39000 Spirit Stones, which would last them for a few months.

After that, the auction entered the next phase as the host announced.

"From now on, only Rank Three Spirit Stones are acceptable unless you exchange in the end. If you wish to use your Rank Two Spirit Stones, be aware that the exchange rate is 6 to 1."

Everyone knew that a Rank Three Spirit Stone had the equivalent energy of three Rank Two Stones. However, no one would make such a trade since it was much easier to absorb a Rank Three Spirit Stone's Spiritual Energy than using three Rank Two Stones. It was much better for cultivation. That being said, the exchange rate was always higher than the total amount, usually being 4 to 1. One must remember that this was a different planet, so the exchange rates are also different from before. Nonetheless, it was very hard for some to trade for that amount. Only at 6 to 1 would the Auction House be guaranteed to receive their Rank Three Spirit Stones.

Of course, they were basically ripping them off anyway. But no one complained since they were an official inst.i.tution of the Imperial Family.

Rean pondered about his total amount of Rank Two Spirit Stones remaining before saying.

"Without considering my Earth Peak-Level Weapon, we have equivalent to 6600 Rank Three Spirit Stones."

Agis shrugged his shoulders as he said.

"It's not like we really need to buy anything. However, you might consider exchanging the Rank Two Spirit Stones anyway. After all, Rank Three Stones are much better for cultivation."

Rean and Frandin nodded in response to Agis's words. Of course, Rean wouldn't make the exchange here in the Imperial Auction House. After all, even though it would still be expensive, he could at least get it with a 5 to 1 rate outside.

On the stage, the auction continued as a few more items continued to go out. Sure enough, the numbers dropped a lot since the rank of the Spirit Stones had increased.

"Our next item is a Magma Flower. For those who don't know, this item is used for energy cultivation pills. The initial bidding price is 400 Rank Three Spirit Stones."

Roan, who was also watching the auction through his connection with Rean, immediately said.

"Try to get this Magma Flower. I can make a few good cultivation pills for us with it."

Rean nodded in response. For a planet with little Spiritual Energy like this one, any advantage helped out.

Rean nodded and asked Frandin to make the biddings. He would lose Spirit Stones for the flower, but it would help their cultivation a lot more than the Spirit Stones themselves. Even if they had to use the 6 to 1 exchange of the auction house, it was worth it. Of course, Rean's weapon was still there, so it wouldn't be necessary since he believed it would be worth more.

"450!"

"500!"

"550!"

"650!"

In the end, Frandin acquired the flower for 700 Rank Three Spirit Stones, which was delivered to his group's room a few minutes later.

The items continued to come out until finally, Rean's weapon entered the stage.

"Our next item is an Earth Peak-Level sword. Be aware that it was made by the same blacksmith as the weapons of the first phase of the auction. That being said, it doesn't have any inscription on it. Nonetheless, it does have the same quality, which means it's far better than common Earth Peak-Level weapons. In a certain way, this sword is free for you to inscribe any weapon array you want, a true masterpiece!"

"The initial price is 3000 Rank Three Spirit Stones!"

Rean's group was surprised. They knew it would be worth a lot more than his Earth High-Level weapons, but not by that much. And that was only the base value.
